Your plane is over 30 years past its expected useful life. Do you
rely on a 1965 car for reliable transportation? I submit to you that it's a credit to all the mechanics that have worked on your aircraft for those 40 years, that you aren't drinking beer out of it. Amen, Don. As much as I bitch about the mechanics who don't test things after maintenance, and break things while fixing other things, I still must tip my hat to all the guys who, over the last 31 years, have kept my Pathfinder in outstanding condition. Of course, if you were to add up the amount of money spent maintaining and upgrading the original airframe, it would be dozens (hundreds?) of times over what the plane cost in the first place -- so all the previous owners must get a nod, too. I'm convinced that competent light aircraft mechanics do it because they love doing it.
