Hello all,
I've had my offer accepted for purchase contingent upon inspection of N45JV. It has a checkered past with a gear collapse in PSP on 11 Nov, 2012 with both mains collapsing on landing and a few inches of prop getting bent. The airplane was then donated to a non profit organization and the damaged gear was repaired by an A&P. It had a condition inspection earlier his month done and the compressions were good. 75 75 74 74. 1600 SNEW on the engine and about 330TT if I recall correctly on the airframe.
I'm flying down Monday to inspect this bird personally before I sign the check on this good looking airplane. Any advice or more info for me with this airplane? It sure looks like it has potential despite its troubles.
Thanks guys.
