    How long do you wait on a shop....?

    Scheduled 2/14: "We will get you in the week of the 14th." Didn't happen. Last 2 weeks of Feb was waiting for them to "get some room" due to continued issues on a problem twin. Ok fine. I'll be patient. First week March, couple of guys got covid, and weather was crappy. Ok fine. Stuff happens...

    Prebuy question: mechanic local to the plane, or local to you?

    For a prebuy what is the best option, using a mechanic that is local(ish) to where the plane is located, or using a mechanic that is local to you and having them make the trip? I currently don't have a mechanic with any past history, so I can't get any advice there. I'm new to the process and...

    How old is too old for fuel?

    Plane has been unused for 2.5 years and still has quite a bit of fuel in the tanks. I don't want to drain and dispose of that much fuel, but I don't want to do any damage to the engines. FWIW, I'm in a dry climate (CO), and it was always stored in a heated hangar. I did sump both sides, it...

    Studying the CFR's/AIM

    Have any of you read (not just skimming, but for comprehension) all of part 91? Just sat down and read, line by line, all of it with a highlighter in hand for the good stuff you need to retain. Same thing for the AIM. The whole AIM. Front to back...all of it. If so, was it worth it? I'm...

    Aircraft with damage history.

    Looking at an A36T with damage history from an "off airport landing". This gives me the creeps, but I'm not sure it should...or should it? Have not seen any logs, so I have no idea the extent of damage and repairs, or who did them. I'm not even savvy enough to know who would be the "right"...

    New to the forum.....

    Couldn't find the AOPA pilot forum (redboard), I'm assuming they killed it?? I kind of remember having to log in and there was a link hidden away in the basement somewhere, but I'm not finding it now. I have been lurking here off and on for a while, and it looks to be more than an adequate...
