Hi guys. My name is Stephen, currently based at KROG (will likely relocate to KHAE later this year) and am in the Mooney buying process. I am new to the forum and am looking to go through with a purchase on a Mooney F model. Although I have been doing IT consulting work for the last 20 years, I did start out as an A&P/IA back in the day, mostly doing Annuals/ 100 hr inspections on C 414A's, PA31T and C210s, so am not Mooney familiar on the system level but understand the inspection process. Although I still have the A&P ticket, am looking to get someone Mooney familiar to do a prebuy at or around KEYK (where the aircraft is located) this coming weekend. The inspection must be done be "in state" per seller. Being a trust but verify type I will shoulder surf the inspection but had a few questions I would greatly appreciate your guidance on:
1) I have the LASR prebuy checklist, but it seems like it is just a generalized checklist. It has been my experience that particular airframes have specific hotspots that bear special attention. Any guidance here would be appreciated.
2) Recommendations on a good candidate who could do the inspection
The aircraft was just signed off for annual last week by the on field shop. But I still intend on doing the prebuy.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
Stephen
