Guys,

This has all been good information and reading. I really appreciate the
input, keep it coming.

I think the time demands for our MO have stemmed from a number of things:

1. A very poor maintenance officer preceding him
2. Most of the recent squaks have been avionics related and if you go
and check on some of my old posts you'll notice that the local avionics
shop has some issues. Like newly installed Garmin 430s falling out of
the panel on rotation. Transponders not secured or hooked up. The
avionics shop is poorly run and does **** poor work in my book. I don't
get to control where the work is done in this regard.
3. He is a very conscientious guy

I like the concept of having a MO and assistant for each plane. I'd
love to be involved with the maintenance more. I know I don't have the
time to devote those kinds of hours to this every week.

If you've got other ideas please keep them coming. The guy who has
agreed to fill in for our retiring MO is a good friend and a great guy
but he doesn't have the time nor is he even in the Midwest (where the
planes are based) very much so I'm dubious about where things are going
to go.

Chris
