What do you have? My club is in the market for an AA5B.
I think I know who used to own that airplane...
Last I heard, it was in Alaska.

bit early for the victory lap chief. Give it at least one annual before you declare victory
Jest aside. Enjoy, and good luck to ya on the new-to-you bird.

That is true. I had an A&P look her over. We did a high speed taxi but never took to the air. It’ll go through annual within the next two weeks so fingers crosses

Second happiest day of an airplane owner’s life...
Shouln’t be too hard to unload the little Grumman. For some reason folks really like those things.

I actually really like my Grumman and I may try to find a way to keep it but I will probably have to sell her. They are fast, fun, economical and look awesome
Congratulations!!!

Selling mine wasn’t all that easy granted it was a bit of an ugly duckling with a new heart. They have an undeserved bad reputation. They are probably the cheapest airplane to own though and are super fun to fly. I was out flying my 150 the other day. As I was taxing back after landing at an airport about an hour away I got behind my old Grumman. Departed right behind him and watched as he quickly vanished on the horizon gapping the little 150 pretty quickly. Granted I rotated a few hundred feet before him and land a good bit slower they are way faster and more fun to fly.
