Pre Buy Check List Do Not Buy With Out This

[JAG]

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your reply. I am sorry for my last post if you took exception - my criticism was directed at the maintenance provider, not you. I think you are doing the right thing in going over the aircraft in that level of detail. It removes the chances of every surprise, and it is very detailed and thorough. Thanks for explaining how you broke down the defects between airworthy and customer request. Typically, this is how I see defects listed even from a shop.

Sorry if my post was misunderstood - I was being picky about how the maintenance shop was presenting their work.

Kind regards,
Jeff

Hello John
the delivery is delayed, we found some more issue, like broken Aileron cable and now we are also checking all control cables ;more thouroghly ; sound proofing patterns were cut wrong by soundex and we have to send them back ;-(((
and also i asked the work shop to slow down the work, due to the winter weather , we will not be able to cross the Atlantic, we plan for the pick up end February ,when weather gets less hostile

Be careful when overhauling the fuel selectors. I sent out my rear selector and installed it on return. I did a complete ground run up at full power with no problems. When I took off the rear engine began surging at 800 AGL and ended up with a preventive shutdown. The problem ended up being the overhaul shop installed new seats in the selector that were 20 thousands too small and limited adequate fuel flow for sustained high power operation. It ended up ok but would have been a disaster if both selectors had been overhauled at the same time.
