En-Route
First Time Buyer Jitters here...
How much stock should I put in the VREF value since I don't value some of the stuff on the equipment list as much as VREF does, and I know I'm going to have to install ADSB. Also the airplane has had 2 Gear-up incidents back 30 years ago, and has flown very little in the years following the overhaul (which VREF doesn't seem to care about). The engine was overhauled in 2011, and has under 400 hrs now. Is that even enough use to get an effective break-in? Overall the airplane looks pretty nice (though I haven't seen it in person as yet). I know this is all subjective, and each situation is different, but insight/opinions are welcome.
