    Not a bad looking nook for a nap.. assuming you can fit into it of course.

    Thanks guys. Clarence, I'll shoot you a PM. Bob, I'm impartial between the levers versus knobs, but thanks for the input.

    Makes sense to me. I'll see if I can track down an MSC near me (Toronto). On the topic of corrosion, any particular places I should poke around with a flashlight during the initial look? I'll try to stick my head wherever I can fit it (I think there's a joke in there...), but any common hotspots to cover?

    Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to see that none of the items you mentioned are a surprise. Not to say they wouldn't be an unpleasant surprise should I need to fix them, but I'm glad they aren't unfamiliar issues. I would consider myself fairly mechanically inclined, and am an electrical engineer by trade, but seeing how much knowledge there is among the members here it seems silly not to ask for some advice. And definitely agreed about having a proper PPI done before purchasing. I was wondering more about things I should be looking for before bringing it to a mechanic.

    Thank you - corrosion will be at the top of the list. Anything else?

    I'm planning on checking out a '77 201 in the next week or two and was wondering what to look out for, generally speaking. I've done a couple searches for similar threads and know to look for some key things like leaking fuel tanks, misaligned spinners (sagging engine mounts), and cracked gear donuts. The airplane also has a 430W and ancient Pathfinder autopilot, so I'll be sure to play with those as well. Anything else?

    I've been using this one for a couple years, works great. http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerIQ-Technology-Motorola/dp/B00D82O68Y
