| Subject: | Commander 520 from 1953 questions. |
Hi. New member here.
Looks like I've just bought an old 520 from 1953. She's regularly flown, in annual
and have her ducks in a row. She's based in MI, but will be flown back to
Los Angeles where I live as soon as I can get her insured and inspected.
Couple of questions:
1. Who would be able to potentially do a pre-buy inspection on the Port Huron/Detroit
area for the 520?
2. If I and my more experienced CFII can't get insurance for the flight back, is
there anyone in that area that has a lot of Commander hours (and/or ideally
be a CFI) that could help me fly her back to LA VFR?
3. Who would be the best maintenance facility in the So Cal area for an old girl
like this? I prefer a repair-and-fix approach rather than a replace-by-new approach
to maintenance, if there's a choice.
Thanks,
A.

Hello "A". Congrats on the purchase.
If you'd like to contact me off list, I can probably provide some
assistance. I know pretty much every nut and bolt in a 520 on a first
name basis.
Sadly, I recently sent a vast quantity of 520 parts to the dump as I
could not find anyone who wanted them. I think I still have a complete
set of all documentation (all current originals purchased from tcac).
Will need to dig through the book case and make sure though.
