Had you retained the paperwork from 10+ years ago? I had heard you need paperwork to demonstrate BAC.

In the 12 months while you were being tested were you grounded or could you pursue instruction/solo? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

To be clear, does this mean if you had two alcohol related offenses 10+ years ago you must completely abstain from alcohol (0 drinks ever) in order receive medical clearance?

How did this turn out? Can you share the outcome of your experience?

Did the plane have an attitude indicator?

I realize this is 12 years old... but for those (like me) who are using this for research on doing PPL checkride in tail dragger. The issue I have encountered when attempting to use tail dragger for check ride is instrumentation. I am in San Diego and DPE's want to have an attitude indicator...

I didn't buy the plane. I do appreciate all the input from everyone. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Absolutely. I should have caveated this statement. Comps I saw on trade a plan did not line up. I also consulted with multiple people who know the market, as well as some that knew the actual plane in question, which has been for sale for a number of months. The consensus was it was...

Is that for real? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Am I supposed to put a deposit down prior to pre-buy?

The plane has to be insured and I have to carry general liability insurance.

What's the math on that?

I have an opportunity to buy a hangar on a municipal airport in a busy metropolitan area. Hangars in the area rent for $400-$600/mo. The hangar currently has 150 months left on the lease. Rent to the city is currently $95/mo with nominal increases annually (inflation/cpi I think.) The seller...

Good question. I am attaching an image of the panel. I will add to OP as well.

Op here. Interesting how much disagreement there is here. I have encountered the same locally with very experienced pilots and CFI's. The trick is to find a local dpe who will do it here in San Diego. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Have a 1951 champ ec I want to train and do my ppl check ride in. I'm told it lacks necessary instrumentation for ppl checkride- namely attitude indicator and heading indicator. Is it possible to have these installed? Would it be cost prohibitive/stupid to do so as oppossed to just flying...

I have the hangar figured out. Do you know ballpark how much it would cost to install an attitude indicator and heading indicator? Would that be a crazy idea in such a plane? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Thanks all. Sound like offer then pre-buy. Makes sense. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I've never bought a plane. I've bought lots of other things of course. Do you make an offer before or after the pre buy inspection? I want to make sure I follow the right ettiquette.

I was checking out friends champ the other day and thinking of buying. Very well maintained. It is set to run on autogas. We are in CA so the autogas has ethanol I would imagine which I think is an issue. He said they mix the auto with AVgas 50/50 and have been doing it for 15 years without...
