All the snooping in the newsgroup just paid off...I think! I just closed the deal on my first airplane. Based on my mission profile and the things I learned from the newsgroup, I had the following objectives: 1. Must be able to *legally* fit my wife and three (small) kids. [snip] Excellent! When you get your hands on the plane, will you give us all a report on how well it holds your family? (How hard is it to get everybody in, how much luggage space is left with the third seat, any W&B issues, how accessible is the kid stowed in baggage during the flight, does putting one kid in front and wife in the middle work, how is your climb fully loaded, etc. etc. as long as you have patience.) I'm looking at doing exactly the same thing. ~Adam Aulick (any email replies to a u l i c k at s o l t e c . n e t) |

You guys will probably get sick of hearing about it ;-) Adam Weiss PP-ASEL Soon to be owner of N7966L |

There is no such thing as a "really good...annual inspection" with the possible exception of the IA missing an item that has gone out of limits. That is a BAD inspection. If you mean a nitpicky inspection (NOT an annual inspection) that will pick up such things as tires worn to NEAR limits or brakes worn to NEAR limits or cylinders NEAR limits or bearings NEAR limits, that is a totally different kettle of bratwurst. Hopefully they will also verify that the "substantial" damage from the 1975 crash was properly fixed (though it was long enough ago that it may not matter, but still, something to look for ...) http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=50128&key=0 |
