I took my daughter up for her first ride.


Always fun! How old?


She is 12. One reason I bought the plane is to teach her how to fly.


I bought the plane from
a used car salesman and he "forgot" to tell me about the massive oil
leak.
Fortunately the leak was easy to fix (hole in valve cover).


I can't tell -- without a smiley, are you joking? Did you have a pre-
buy inspection performed?


Yes I had a prebuy, but he didn't catch the hole in the valve cover. The
hole was caused by a sheet metal screw holding the lower cowl to the nose
bowl. You couldn't see the whole until the nose bowl was pulled.

And yes, he was a used car salesman. I ordered a copy of the aircraft
paperwork from the FAA and it showed the owner as "Andy's Auto Sales".

NASA offered me $15,000 to take down my web site. Take a look and see why.
