(Chris) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:57:52 PM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Commander 520 from 1953 questions. From: "stratobee" 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.

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.
