In pictures online it seems to have tiny 4 blade props - does it still have that?

So, pre-buy with Morris is done and showing no real surprises. Pretty good shape
for her age. She will need a bit of TLC - some of it I will have to take care
of straight out of the gate, some can wait until the annual in June and some
can wait indefinitely.
Main things need taking care of, I think:
- Three brake pads need replacing. The seller has some, but he said they might
be "homemade" by the previous owner, so not spec. I didn't get to see them.
- There's also a small hydraulic leak in the right gear lock down mechanism. Probably
just a seal.
- Ailerons are over tightened and have the wrong bolts. This I think should be
addressed swiftly in case they start chafing or causing other damages.
- Fuel, hydraulic and vacuum hoses dry and brittle in engine compartments. Needs
swift fix.
- Pushrod tube seals leaking oil.
My aim is to fly her back to California beginning of Feb.
Morris was a huge help and after he flew back, I got to spend some time with the
machine. I'm very excited and she seems like a lovely, snubnosed friendly plane.
I'm looking forward to many years of flying with her.

Hey Adam,
That's correct, she still has 4 blades and that is why she is so
quiet...
It was great to see your 520, very special plane no doubt, yeahp,
looks like you got yourself a classic!
Well you know where I am, and if you need any assistance in making
anything happen, you know that a Commander lover is not too far from
your bird so just let me know.
Also, when you guys are getting close to get ready for the ferry,
PLEASE let me know, I'd love to hear those GO-435s come to life plus
it looks like a fun airport.
Take care and GOOD LUCK!
Peter

Nice meeting you too and thanks for sharing your Commander memories from back in
the days.
I will make sure I give you a heads up before we come collect her.
