From: "stratobee" 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. -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=327448#327448 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/adamscommander_178.jpg ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:24 AM PST US From: Peter Bichier Subject: Commander-List: NICE FLIGHT 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!
