I was going to buy a Warrior several years ago. Advertized as no damage history.
Spent non-refundable tickets and hotel to Utah for buying it. Did a history
report on the plane from FAA before leaving. Had three wrecks!
Seller sold to another unsuspecting sucker and never reimbursed me for my losses.
There are crooks everywhere. He sounded very sincere on the phone but was
a total ahole in real life.

I'm glad it's worked out for others.
I went through two attitude indicators in a year doing "light" aerobatics
and decided to overhaul my panel to glass.
The first one I don't know the history of so it could have been old to start
with and on its last legs anyway.
But the second was new out of the box and becoming unreliable within a
little more than a year of flying.
In theory, the rate of turn instruments (turn and bank, etc) should be okay,
since they don't care where up is -- just what rate you're turning. But I
think there are some absolute hard mechanical limits inside the AIs, at
least in pitch. It certainly didn't break on my first loop, but like I say,
it didn't last the years and years I expected.
When I looked at the price of a "basic" experimental EFIS compared to yet
another new AI, it was pretty clear that the days of gyros are numbered.
Of course by the time I was done I'd spent significantly more, but my
airplane is way more capable too. :)
Just another anecdotal data point.
Scott.
