Angry Pre Buy Check List Do Not Buy With Out This

I have been looking for Pressurized P337,post 1973 model and invested some money and time, compiled a complete pre buy check list, i can tell you that , with out ;Pre buy inspection it can be huge financial disaster, and also i think this is the best investment we can do , , its vital you get the professional shop, not just a free lance A & P ( no offend to them) ,but my experience has proved that not every one of them have the proper tools to perform this Job honestly and if they are not familiar with SkyMaster you can bet ,it will be a night mare for you later on. If big shop is equipped with well trained personal and tolls ,,although they do not have SkyMaster experience , they can /will do the pre buy as guided and inspect every thing , which the check list shows.
I have put a deposit on highly well equipped P337 ,2100 TT, 1979 ,With G-500, GTN 750, GTN 650, JPI 960, Speed Brakes, Vg Kit, Rear engine 80 SFRM, Front engine 960 with fresh Top overhaul, Fresh Props, Stec 55-x A.P ,Gear door kit, Pressurized Mags, Air Oil separator, flaps seal, new overhauled fuel tanks ,almost all the gadget you can have to Enhance the performance.
Aircraft extremely well maintained, (i should write here well paid for the maintenance , with blank cheques by owner ) , Owner is a Doctor and not flying a lot for last year , and the aircraft was maintained in perfect condition as per his Mechanic,s declaration ( translate into well paid too ) and has valid ;Annual and you guess what ????
2 weeks ago aircraft was sent to Brant Aero in Canada for the pre buy inspection and test flight, and the work shop made list of 132 ;snags;/squawks after physical inspection and its not the end, now they are studying the technical logs and we are afraid list will grow.Our Skymasters are complex machines and they are very old, and if u put pressurization, turbos, waster gate, and twin engines, it gives you ;great cocktail, and our lives and lives of our loved one, depends on these machines health, so any short cut in Pre buy gonna bite the next owner, as in Aviation we say, PAY IT NOW OR PAY IT LATER , BUT PAY YOU WILL , in the attachment pre buy check list,and if i missed some areas , pls do add in , in coming days i will post the Test flight report and pre Buy ;Report , So we and future owners can educate themselves and have as less troubles as possible.
FLY SAFE
