    Pre-buy inspection. Is it reasonable?

    Pre-buy inspection. Is it reasonable?

    I expect the speed what indicated in the POH. 112-115 knots. So I would like to see at least 110. Low compression is low compression. It could lead to cylinder replace or repair. IMHO.

Definitely I supposed problems with the engine. Later I have found 66 and 68 in compression reading (two cylinders). So I was right. I...

    How long do "these markets" last?

    I have met two guys who tried to sell Cessna 150. But both has FAA registration issued for somebody else. The guys explained to me that the new registrations are in a process. I have found the situations suspicious because I was not sure the guys are eligible to sell the planes. Actually how...
