Knowing your airplane intimately is one of the great benefits of owning -
how can you do that if you've never even looked under the cowling, let
alone under the wing root fairings?

On a lesser level (not all of us get the opportunity to rebuild an airplane
from the ground up) the owner-assisted annual is incredibly valuable. To
know how each part is attached, with what screw (or bolts, or nuts), where
it goes and what it does is worth any amount of hours invested.

I'm coming up on my sixth owner-assisted annual (third on this plane), and
I'm really looking forward to it. Despite everything we've done to our
Pathfinder, I guarantee I'll learn something new.
