Another Try at Prebuy

[brian]

Dave, when I bought my 65 I had them put in super soundproofing as part of the prebuy / annual process. Good thing because above the pilot seats on the roof, underneath the old factory soundproofing was corrosion. I understand this is often the case with that old soundproofing material. They were able to scrape, sand and repair but I would have had a "moonroof" in a few years ! Other than that it was corrosion free. So... check under the factory soundproofing for sure. Never would have found that in a normal prebuy or even an annual.

I thought there was a list of prebuy items on this website but I cannot locate. You should get the 337 book from this place http://www.skysmith.com/


Best of luck;

Given the soft market for light twins, I would look for the best aircraft with the most modern avionics. Buying an aircraft that has been upgraded to new avionics in this market would be like buying new avionics for 1/2 price. Although trying to find the right one with all the features you want at the budget you have settled on can be very challenging.
