I've known numerous pilots that have rescued ramp queens that had been
sitting for years. Most of the engines "ran fine" soon after the
resurrection was complete. It was usually 50-100 hrs. down the road that the
corrosion damage to the cam got bad enough to be obvious.

I am wondering if it would be considered in bad taste to ask a
prospective seller to produce his/her personal logbook (or the books of
those flying the beast) in order to establish the plane's flying
history? You can check the plane's books to get a history of hours
between annuals.

You keep a log book?

The only thing I log is what is required for currency.
I just give the insurance company tac hours.
