Pre Buy Check List Do Not Buy With Out This

[Skywalker]

Hello Richard
good to hear from you, i have sent you the snags list on your private mail, pls have a look and advise. also i want every thing to be fixed, minor or major one,overall plane is dream machine with all the bells.
and main reason i think is The mechanic who has been working on it ,did not know the plane well .
I will keep posted about the progress, as we are working with Owner to solve all the issues, Mean while we have decided to ferry via Azores ,Southern route due to winter coming ahead and also one Guy sent me a link of one incident where One Swedish guy ditched his SkyMaster in Atlantic in August, , as both his engines stopped working, we will never know what happened exactly, but there are lot of speculations , and ice formation in the fuel or oil lines is one of them. so we do not want to take any chance, This will require us fitting 100 Gallons of fuel tank and HF radio , its getting interesting day by day ;-))))))

If this is the same incident that happened several years ago, I understood the issue was the oil breathers froze up and pumped all the oil overboard. This is why there should be an alternate air path in the breather tube. The airplane is on the bottom of the ocean so probably will never know for sure but that was the theory that I heard.
