Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If it was my money, I would want to know that it was repaired by a shop with the facility, people, and reputation for such things. But if it passed that test, and the engine and prop passed similar tests, I would get the most expensive pre-buy I could, and buy it. It’s possible to screw this up, but no reason to expect that. I would get that comprehensive pre-buy regardless of damage history. Quote

My buddy that is a cfi and atp says not to consider buying one as they never fly straight again. I am a CFI and ATP and can assure you there is absolutaly zero education in buying and maintaining an airplane from getting those ratings. Your buddy is incorrect. 2 Quote
