I may be interested, but Ohio is a long way away from Arizona....

DO NOT disparage another member's mechandise, price, ad or point out some better deal found elsewhere. If you're not interested in what he/she has for sale, move on. No comments necessary. Posts to the contrary will be deleted without notice. Imagine, you bringing this point up. Barney??  Lost log book?----high time engine? Should I be concerned about these items?
There Steve, I corrected your post to how I interpreted it. Bill

Evidently, the hangar got burgled many years ago. Fortunately, a new logbook had been started and I have the last couple pages of that. I'm more interested in the current condition than what repairs were done thirty years ago, so no big deal.

I've not encountered it before (well, except for that airplane I bought in Torrance... or that other one from Fort Lauderdale). Yeah, Arizona is a good place to find rust free vehicles. Plus, I could be easily talked into flying this 150 to the new owner. It wasn't in Florida long.... It was hangared in Buffalo NY for a long time... | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,434 Likes: 1003 Member/25,000 posts | Member/25,000 posts Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,434 Likes: 1003 | I dunno how I came back w/this screen name, but anyway, Mike Busch is (still) a colossal tool and listening to Anything Bill says is hazardous to your health!

It's still in pieces. The engine is disassembled in the back room of my house, avionics are sitting on a shelf, and still stripping paint from control surfaces. Stuff was lurking under the paint.

Sure, the average humidity is higher here than in many parts of the country, but I don't think it's excessively so. Unprotected steel rusts easily, as it does anywhere. My vehicles last over 20 years with no corrosion evident unless the paint fails, and then you get surface rust. That's correctable if not allowed to progress (like anywhere else). I like to rumage through aircraft salvage yards and have seen a LOT of exposed aluminum. Living in Florida for over 30 years now, I have not found a higher incidence of aircraft corrosion than in most other parts of the country (desert states do seem to be the execption from what I've read). Aircraft that have been based in Florida since new don't seem to develop "frost" (surface corrosion) in the interior skins of wings like they do in northern climes. It's just a theory, but I attribute this to condensation on interior surfaces as the sun melts snow off the wings when conditions are right. Birds under roof don't seem to have as much "frost". I can't prove anything. It's not a scientific study. Just my humble opine. | | |
