Plane went through pre-buy with the following being reported. Plane just came out of Annual last month. If you got a report like this how would you have interpreted it? Im no longer pursuing the plane as a result. Going off past experience P

The local shop sent out an email today. Has to be done before next flight if impacted. Costly

Winter kit put on so up for a test flight in the 140

Fresh annual so out burning fuel for no reason except fun. Not quite going backwards but got close couple times. lol

I would have the thought the tower would have wanted positive confirmation from the Piper he had the Cessna in sight. Sad

Owning a 46' C-140 I would of course go with the Cub. Why not split it between the two?

My expectations are built off past experiences. Never have been charged additional for AD inspections on previous planes. I'm just curious if its more common than not. I get it though.

Tailwinds and blue skies Bob

Yes I have. At 5 hours I started alternating between high power and medium power settings during cruise.

Yes. It runs smoother as RPM’s increase. I’ll have to check on the idle RPM.

Thx. They should be new. I thought about induction leak and made sure things were snug. Can an exhaust leak cause roughness / stumble? I see no evidence of a leak. Will double check.

Update- With 6 hours on the new top I'm chasing an engine roughness issue at low idle and power settings. I have checked the intake hose connections, added new plugs and there is still a slight miss. Applying carb heat makes it worse, but leaning smooths it out, Mechanic wants to check the low...

Did storms pass through last night?
