PIREP AGL aviation

[rbridges]

Just had my annual done.  Wanted to wait until I'd flown a bit to give a review.  So far, everything looks good.  I've owned the plane for around 10 years.  Lynn said everything looked pretty good.  He seems to go by the numbers.  He found my tail was out of rig.  It worked, but it always showed I had a bunch of up trim on the gauge.   I always figured it's a 50+ year old plane and no one else seemed to care, so that's just how it is.  After rigging, the trim scale is actually pretty accurate.  Go figure.    I also know he took time to pull the engine screen and anti-seize the powerflo exhaust.  

Most importantly, it seems he fixed my nagging flap issue.  They would pump down but slowly come back up under prop wash or while flying.  Did my BFR yesterday, and actually did a few full flap landings and of course stalls with full flaps.  It seems they are holding.  

The kicker to the annual was that he actually gave me a date to arrive and a date to leave two days later barring any major squawks.  That meant my wife could come with me and spend a few days vacationing instead of dropping the plane off and having to get it later.  Bumming rides is possible, but it's sometimes aggravating to arrange.  Lynn offered to let me stay at their house, but we opted to use their courtesy car to hang out in Asheville.

The airport is easy, and since it's east of any major "mountains," no big deal getting in or out.  Their fuel is also reasonably priced.  Right now, I'd give AGL 5 out of 5 stars; and I'd definitely use them again.
