Pre-Purchase Inspection in Texas

[dfswing2]

I am close to purchasing an M20M Bravo in central Texas, within 35 mi of Kerrville.  I am considering Dugosh (Gemini now I believe).  Any other recommendations that might travel to the aircraft?

You really should send the aircraft to Don Maxwell at KGGG. Don can help with a pilot to position the plane at his shop and get the owner home. Any seller this close who wouldn't agree to a DMax inspection isn't selling the plane you want to buy.

I would suggest not taking the plane to the last shop that maintained it.   Plane could use a different set of eyes.    Both Dugosh or Maxwell have great reputations.

Send it to Don Maxwell at GGG

I was happy with Southwest Texas Aviation in San Marcos when they did a pre buy for me. It's another option. Don Maxwell does have the greater reputation though.

DMax...

Performed the PPI on my R.

A significant part of the PPI for me included a practical test of all of the avionics.

I was paying for a complete IFR machine, DMax assured that was what I was receiving...

Best regards,

Out of curiosity, what are/were you flying before moving to buying a Bravo?

Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche but been a few years.  Been renting an Arrow lately.  Will be looking for type specific instruction with this move.
