That’s great to hear! I’m located in central FL but I will most definitely be reaching out for a quote. Good work and honest people are worth the trip! Thank you!

Do you mind letting me know what shop?

Okay im glad someone else had this experience, I just received a mind blowing 64,000 quote with 204 labor hours, thats 40 eight hour working days. I am definitely looking elsewhere!

We had some word from the pre-buy mechanic of a cylinder that was showing mid compressions however he could see there was carbon built up on the valve from the previous owner running the engine rich and that this would be a simple fix and nothing to be concerned about. Against my better judgment...

Okay sick, I think I’m making it back over there tomorrow so I’ll definitely go check that out!

Yes I absolutely love Aircraft engineering they are outstanding! I’m just in KDED above Orlando so they aren’t too far from me. Thank you for the list I’m gonna save that in case I’m ever traveling and need some help. Thanks!

I would 100% agree with this. A lesson I most certainly have learned as well. I hired a mechanic for a prebuy recommended by someone I trust with my aircraft. I just don’t believe he had the skill set or time in vintage aircraft’s required for the job. He deals with mostly off the production...

Just wanted to update everyone that was kind enough to help me out when I purchased my Comanche back in September. I sadly have not yet been able to fly this beautiful bird. Upon receiving the aircraft from its prebuy, my mechanic found some things he was suspicious of under the engine cowling...

I think I’ll reach out to quote agency tomorrow and see if that would work, finding someone has been a STRUGGLE lol. Thanks for reaching out! I’ll keep you updated

Once I complete the 25hrs dual I would have no further restrictions.

Hello everyone, currently in need of a CFI with 1000+ hour total time, 250+ hour retract gear, and 25 hours in a Comanche 250. Insurance is requiring 25hrs dual with such CFI before solo, I am located in Central Florida on KDED airfield. Anyone who qualifies and is near/knows of someone please...

Absolutely beautiful pictures you did a great job! I flew out to Austin last week to demo Ruby and Kranston flew her to Florida Saturday to drop her off!

Hello everyone! Last weekend I took ownership of a 1964 Comanche 250 many of you may know as “Ruby”. She’s been seen at many air shows over the past couple years and featured in a few magazines most recently Pipers June 2023 edition. I’m looking for some cool places to go visit, maybe meet some...

Took ownership of her this past weekend, so excited, the previous owner threw in the magazines she was featured in so I have those framed on the wall now haha

N8344P known as “Ruby” she’s been all over to Sun n Fun and Osh, seen on Piper magazines a few times…….I’m already in love we took ownership over the weekend!
