I used to pay annual property tax on my plane, about 5% ($1000 on a $20K plane). Thankfully it's tax-exempted when over 30 yrs old.

Really? Checking my local tax laws now. Unfortunately, I don't think that applies where I live.
P.S. My rate isn't that high. As I recall, I pay around $300 on a "$24K" or so value plane. Last year the assessor goofed and did not bill me or possibly other plane owners. I was told not to worry about it. I verified I am not in arrears.

Maine did away with aircraft property tax a few years ago. I think there is a $10 filing fee or something but that's it.

Your plane looks really nice, Jeff. I'm sorry it needed so much more work (and $$$$).

Well you made me go to plane plastics and look up the interior parts. I now remember why I didn't purchase this stuff new when I was working on my interior. My stuff is old and brittle but looks good. I am going to replace it in the not too distant future. I always worry about fit and finish but yours looks great !!

I have included a photo (the best non-blurred one) of the crankshaft corrosion, so you can see for yourselves.

Yikes - no debating that diagnosis, or what's needed. Lucky for me there is nothing like that in my engine. I think Bengie can help you out with a crank? You have an otherwise very nice looking airplane, seems a shame to part it out.

Maybe he means the part of the crank that is outside of the engine case?

But I don't think that's what is pictured...
