I am looking to purchase a Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA or E-LSA) with a Rotax 912 engine. I'm considering one in the Billings, Montana area, among other places. If you know of any DARs or A&Ps or Rotax shops in that area (or in reasonable proximity and willing to travel there) I would be...

I'm in the process of acquiring an E55, and would like to get any reference for a pre-buy, possibly doing an annual as well, within 100mi of KUGN? Was suggested Jim Finefield in 3CK but they are a few weeks backed up with annuals.

I’m getting back into aviation (after 10 years away) and starting to think about what I want to buy. I often hear people say that they spent years trying to buy their airplane. I’m curious to hear how long it took you to find the right plane - how many inspections and how long did it take? For...

I’m interested in a 1963 Cessna 150D to be used as a time builder. This is the first aircraft I’ve ever been serious about purchasing. I don’t have a mechanic or have any idea how to find an A&P in my area. I’ve been talking to the seller, and he’s got an annual scheduled for this week. From...

I'm flying out to look at an Archer this weekend. If all goes well, I'd like to get a pre-buy inspection done on Saturday (2/18). Can anyone recommend a really good mechanic for the pre-buy, in or around Chino, CA (KCNO)? I'd prefer to use someone that comes highly recommended, rather than pick...

This is the third time, my wife and I are in the market for a plane: The first one was a Cessna, then our Mooney and now something fun like a Kitfox or maybe a vintage aircraft. We probably all heard the advice of how to buy an airplane, if one wants to avoid almost certain financial disaster...
