Hail damage

You can attach a single picture to each post (down at the bottom, where it says "Attach File". If you have two or three, you can do additional posts.

However, I am not certain that folks here are going to be able to help much from pictures, your broker/friend will be able to see and evaluate the damage much better in person. Also, I assume you are getting a prebuy done on the airplane, and the A&P/AI that you use will be able to offer a knowledgeable opinion as well.

Have an A&P that you trust take a look at it for the saftey of flight issues (probably not a problem), and then make an appearance/value decision with your friend. Once the A&P signs off on it, it is really no different than buying a hail damaged car. Some folks would NEVER buy one, others would think it was a steal to get a great car at a low price.

My two cents, my opinion only, and worth less than what you are paying for it: forget about this airplane. There are lots of high-time 182's in the world that you can get a good deal on, especially right now. Why mess with the aggravation that will come later when you go to sell it? (And buy a Skymaster... ;-)
