I do crazy, excessive, some would say bordering on Obsessive compulsive disorder maintenance on this plane. My 6 year old daughter and wife fly in this plane, so I put in the effort and money to make sure everything works. There would be no way to recoup anywhere near what I have put into this plane, nor would I try. The aircraft gets 25 hour oil changes with new oil and air filters despite my mechanic stressing, every time, it is overkill (He says there isn't even any carbon in the filter and jokes about using the oil in his plane, because it is still new). I say oil and filters are cheap but engines are expensive. If the mechanic says a part will need replacing within a few years, I say replace it now. I have the complete logs, so a quick look will show the amount of care I have put into this plane. Heck, I even pre-heat, in California, whenever it gets below 40 degrees and I'm going flying. I know it doesn't need it, but remember that Obsessive compulsive disorder thing? That is what I'm talking about... Damage history: Prior owners had the steering assembly break on landing (Hence LASAR assembly now), nosegear went free castering and they hit a taxiway sign with the right aileron. No wing damage and the aileron was replaced. I think it was just cheaper to get an aileron than re-skin the old one. That is the extent of the damage. Pretty good for a 1963... Take a look, this one is worth it. Selling because we got a second dog so wife says we need a bigger plane, a 201. I didn't argue since I have always wanted a 201. Don't worry about the dogs in the plane, referring back to the OCD, whenever the dog goes into the plane, which is rarely, she has to ride in what is called the "Box of shame," a plastic box so her drool and fur can't get on anything. Seriously. I'm sure I forgot things, so call or PM or email with any questions... John Wilson (916) 505-2240 jrwilson@sacsheriff.com
