    Subject: check list
    Xeroxed someone's preflight list from this site, but after A&P said that's only a checklist I thought there might be some thing overlooked, aside from compression check. Does anyone have a Kolb outline or list (preferably for Mark III Classic) for a 100 hour inspection, or for an annual inspection? I would certainly like a copy. jsf do not archive

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: robert bean <slyck@frontiernet.net> It's all relative to the size of the market. Not that big. If a DVD player can be sold for $35 then DNR headsets should be $25 and programable digital hearing aids should be $15.

As an old rental Mooney pilot, I always thought I'd like to own a Mite but the wooden tail stories convinced me to reconsider. However, I think there is a metal tail STC for them. I still peruse the Mooney Mite site occasionally, just cuz they cool and unique little airplanes. http://www.mooneymite.com/ Thom in Buffalo do not archive

    John, Between the plans, the engine manual, and Appendix D of part 43 of the FAR's you should have everything you need to do an annual. If your checklist is per Appendix D you should be good to go.
