I've now had the pre-purchase and apart from a few minor things the main
issue seems to be that the right gear leg is slightly higher than the left. The engineer thinks the oil has leaked around the seal and its frozen in place, but isn't a killer on the deal. I'll get the current owner to rectify this with new seals before sale. The compressions are reasonable with the left engine having a couple of cylinders in the mid to high 60's, but I expected this with the engine having 2100 hours on. Regards, Dean "Bongo" wrote in message ... I'm looking at purchasing an early (1960) Piper Aztec. I would like to know what should be checked and what the real gotchas are on this age of aircraft. Thanks, Dean |
