should have done this earlier. here's the plane i'm looking at http://www.aest-sales.com/N9591M-Logs.html

seller said there is a disertation about the repair that was accomplished in '04 by Associated Aero Service, Inc. in OK. he is sending me the report via pdf, so will look over it tonight. other news i found out was the owner before him didnt fly the plane much at all. the OH motor was accomplished in '01 and currently has 130 hrs to date. there was 40 hours logged since the spar repair. he did stress the plane has been hangered in the west since the OH. and thanks again for all the responses. Spanky

looking at another plane. of concern, rear spar was repaired back in '86 and documented by reputable shop from gear collapse. i'm on the fence whether this poses a "no-go" or press w/ pre-buy. This is biggest concern, that i've found thus far. couple top-wing fuel leaks too that I need to get more info on as well would be next priority. other than that, solid airplane, good paint, nice interior, fresh overhaul, & weak avionics///// thoughts? if i can get the price right, might be a winner. thanks in advance Spanky

prebuy uncovered an additional 500hrs, so canned this one. too many hours and way too close to new engine.

anyone have anything on this mooney or seller? looking to purchase this one if all is good. thanks http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20K-231/1979-MOONEY-M20K-231/1171663.htm Spanky

Anyone know of a reputable Mooney A&P for pre-buy in/near Dayton, OH? Looking pretty hard at a 231 up there. thanks Spanky
