- 400 SMOH - Out of annual for 1 year (the owner has another plane, and a very busy work schedule; he's sort of lost interest in the plane) - Flown 30 hours since 2000 - Sat for 15 years prior to 2000 (owned by current owner's uncle) The red flag for me is the age of the engine. It sat for 15 years then was flown for only 30 hrs in 8 years. It had 400 hrs SMOH with only 30hrs in the last 23 years so this MOH was done probably over 300 moons ago. Of course I am not an A&P but having to overhaul the engine of our Cardinal after finding 3 cracked cylinders in the first annual (after about 100hrs), I am now quite leery of old engines. Even if the compression checks are good, I'd add the cost of the new engine to the offered price. Hai Longworth |
