I'm looking for a good V-tail, 1970-ish vintage. There's a 69 model
nearby. Here is the report from the last airframe annual:

"Checked all controls and cables. Performed gear retraction test.
Repacked wheel bearings and checked brakes. Installed new air filter
element. Installed new ELT battery. ELT inspected in accordance with
FAR 91.207(d) and found to operate properly. Replaced instrument air
inlet filter. Checked all applicable AD's - see list of aircraft
records this date. Complied with the following AD's:.... "

This looks like a really short list for a 40 year old airplane. When

Mine is a 59 straight tail and the list is usually short like this. My
mechanic keeps a complete list of ADs on computer for the Deb with the
dates complied. So he only needs hit a few keys and there's the
required list if any. The annual itself is relatively short, but he
does do a number of PM items not required. Plugs last for years even
at over a 100 hours per year. Brakes and tires...likewise.

I annual my Arrow, the list of items is about 4 times that size.
