Run your finger up in the exhaust stacks and take a swipe.   Carbon or tan 
?   Tells how the engine is running.  Rich or
ring leaks, or tan--good, light carbon okay too.

PS-- I did not receive any of the photos of the plane in question for the 
pre-buy....would anyone/someone be kind enough
to send them to me directly ?  Thank you !

Mike C.

Don-- Somehow I was off the list for a few days but wanted to re-post my 
applause to you
and for keeping at it for 12 years thru the good times and bad.   Kinda 
like a marriage vow but
you can sell the airplane:))    Seriously, our hats are off to you,  and 
mine belatedly but heartfelt.

Thanks Bill for the link to those photos of the pre-buy plane.   The Prince 
Props are excellent......
they are made by Lonnie Prince, former ATC guy near Bowling Green 
Ohio.   He makes some gorgeous
carbon fiber encapsulated wood-core props.
