1395W that is correct

HI all great stuff! LOL on the Stinson. The PPI for a Stinson has some gotchas as well. Corrosion is one of the top ones. The Stinson does not share as many AD's though. Its a very simple and rugged bird. Comfortable too! Just a bit slow. You can't be in a rush. Thank you and I will contact some shops in the Seller's area tomorrow.

carusoam I understand and will be looking hard at this one. An inspection is a MUST. I would also like to bore scope the cyliners in addition of looking for Corrosion and other gotchas. Its older C at 1963 and is originally a D model that was converted to a C model. I do know and understand older airplanes as I own a Stinson as well but this would be a traveling machine for us. I am looking for a good solid aircraft that can handle two pax and maybe three in a pinch. My worries are the unknowns that i look to vet through pilot and owners on this board. I plan on speaking to a MSC tomorrow for assistance as well. I have downloaded the prebuy list form LASAR as well. This is a stock C model that will likely be sort of a project as well. I am just looking to get the big issues covered on it and get educated. It will need some panel work, Interior work and eventually an engine overhaul.

I assume you mean a Private Pilots License? Absolutely! I also have a CFI ready to transition me with the aircraft. He also did my High performance / complex with me. Agree on All if that's the case!

hi all does the c model have cowl flaps at all?

Thanks danb I didn't think to look at the mooney site as the airplane is vintage. Appreciate it

Is there a way to find a msc list?

Haha keep it coming! Anyone know of a pre buy mechanic in those areas? Also anyone overhauled a fuel pump? I'm told over $800 for that! Is that true? I want to make sure I have the right figures. Plan on what $ for an annual? I know that's a loaded question.

Also problematic ADs for prop or other areas etc....thanks!

Hi all and thank you! Looking to purchase an early 60's C that I have located. I'll have to double check the tail number. Over all I'm interested in talking to an expert and locating someone in the north Georgia or Tennessee area for a possible pre buy. I'm looking for the pitfalls of the model. I totally appreciate the insight and I currently own and operate a Stinson 108. I also serve as the international stinson club president as well so I really value the thoughts of owners especially when considering a new aircraft. Some of the items I look to clarify are is the aircraft tough to work on? Does it require special tools? Does the gear require a bunch of maintenance? Are the flaps problematic? I had heard all from an a and p yet the aircraft looks straightforward for the most part. Thank you in advance.

Is there some one I can call about c models? This is a n early one
