Need a Really Knowledgeable Mooney IA around Little Rock for possible Prebuy.

[Rob K.]

Possible Prebuy around Little Rock Arkansas area. 65 M20E. Beautiful well equipped, but had corrosion on spar and was repaired. In the logs. Aircraft was repainted later and the spar repair was noted in log again. Need a very knowledgeable IA to go over this Ship very well. “Side note” my first aircraft purchase, is the corrosion a deal breaker or are the repairs that are repaired, made good as New. Would appreciate any input. And I’ll try to answer as often as I can. 
Main question is, need a Really Knowledgeable  Mooney Specific IA around Little Rock. 
Thanks, Rob

How close to Little Rock?  If it can be flown by someone then Don Maxwell's is just a little over an hour away in Longview, Texas.  Can't get much more knowledgeable than that shop.

Beebe Arkansas. 
And I didn’t realize Maxwells was that close. 
thanks you

I checked on my Garmin Pilot.  If I made the flight today in my C model from KLIT (Little Rock), with a 45 knot forecasted headwind, I would make it in 1:40.  So take away the headwind and you are looking at 1:20 - 1:30 probably. No too bad to get some experienced eyes looking at your plane.

That would be Fantastic. 
You guys are Awesome. However, I just got a little more info on Aircraft that changed my whole position on the his Aircraft. I won’t be needing a Prebuy after all. Pretty Disappointing but that’s the way it goes sometimes. 
I Need to change title on this feed to “Cancel the Request “.

Better now than later; you will kiss a few frogs before you find a princess. Consider it a bullet dodged and carry on. Some good planes for sale appear here first...

Thank you. Checking often.

Was the plane from the area? I have an E model in bald knob and if anybody ask since people ask from those familiar with a model I would need to tell them to be careful looking at Mooneys if 1 is bad and not point at one specifically

[Rob K.]

No it was quite a ways from Little Rock. I guess I should have specified a good IA instead of details. I’ll be more careful. 
Regards.

No problem I just didn’t want to direct somebody toward a local plane if I knew one in the fold was a money pit and cause an unnecessary prebuy
