Mine usually takes two days ..... I take it all apart and he does the inspection. I fix the squawks (still haven't got one squawk free) the rest of that day while the A&P/AI does the paperwork. The next day he inspects the squawks and I put it all back together. The last one was a little higher .... $150.00. And no, you can't have him!!!

Not all of us are that fortunate. Where I'm tied down (hangers start in excess of $400 and the wait list is very deep), there are no Grumman savey S&Ps. So I fly out to a great guy who knows our birds. I remove the appropriate parts he does the inspection, goes over the squawk list with me I make the repairs, he inspects and signs off. No, I've never done mine squawk free either. I've never had the pleasure of a $150 annual but they did go down from year 1 to year 2. If I'm right I have no need to be angry; If I'm wrong I have no right to be...

You'd think pilots would know better than to fly into buildings there. -----Original Message----- From: mattd@drahz.com Sent: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 5:56 AM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Really pissed off customer --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Matthew Drahzal I am trying to figure out a way to outsource all of Gary's extra work to China. ...if we could only digitize a Grumman and send it overseas via a fiber connection.... /drahz Kevin wrote: > Some people are just completely unreasonable in their expectations. > > BTW, do you think you can get my annual done the same day I bring it > in? :) > > ________________________________________________________________________ across the web, free AOL Mail and more.
