Hi Jerry,
Sorry I missed that you are from Ma. I live in Douglas and fly out of SFZ in RI.

I have one bit of advice for you reguarding using the mechanic that has benn servicing the plane for your pre-buy inspection.

DON'T DO IT !!!

Find another mechanic to look it over. You can still use the on field mechanic after you but it, if you buy it.

If there are things that have been overlooked, for what ever reason, and should have been addressed will be overlooked again and you could end up on the hook for some expensive repairs down the road.

Kind of like you should never proof read your own writing.
Always have someone else look at it.

Hope to see you at one of our Northeast gatherings soon.
