As far as the pre-buy inspection goes the folks that do them

An A&P with experience with Maules can do an annual inspection of my aircraft in
something like 18 hours. That includes all the "grunt work" that I normally do
myself. I don't find it hard to believe that someone who's really trying to do a good
job of finding every problem they reasonably can would take a few hours longer.
