So far, it has been a perfectly flying airplane for me.
Me, too. Hey, Bill... Do I still have more hours in it than you do? You know, after flying Mr. Ed, only my Lil Miss Texas can compare. What a nice flying plane.
Back on the original thread, this is the place to get the best advice. Damage history must be considered, but doesn't automatically rule a plane out. I agree with the engine advice given here, too. I hope you have a mechanic you TRUST do the annual. Then, as Larry told me when he sold me mine, it is what it is. Take it or leave it. You'll have a blast with whatever you buy, for sure.
