JUST got our Aztec home from it's week long annual. $2500 including extra
labor to put in the one piece windshield. (All three of us helped with the
annual, so it cut our labor bill way down.) No surprises, just a few
gaskets, nuts, screws, and bolts replaced. Cable spring tail pipe bracket
needed to be replaced on one engine.... $475 from Piper!! Some 1/4"
aluminum stock, new stainless steel cable and 3 hours of my labor later we
were back in business. Pulled the tail to comply with a Piper SB, no
corrosion on the tube or any of the hardware. Found 2 shims/bearings for
the flap torque tube rolling around in the belly. Obviously they were put
in backwards and worked their way out. Now we need to re-tweak the
flap/aileron rigging so it fly's a little straighter.

Anyway, it's done and we didn't even have any extra parts left over!! (other
than the old windshield)
