TTaylor Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 I am looking at a pre J model Mooney that is located near Nashville, but can not find a mechanic that is qualified to do a pre-buy inspection. Any recommendations in the Nashville area? Thanks, Tim Quote
N601RX Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 There is one individual in that area of Tennessee that buys damaged and flooded Mooneys as insurance salvage and pieces them back together. He doesn't necessary advertise them as such. Be sure you know the history of the plane you are looking at. Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Have it flown about 2.5 hours southwest to Longview, TX and have the plane looked at by Don Maxwell. 903-643-9902 Quote
OR75 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Take someone you trust with you. A pilot / owner who has been involved hands on in maintenance. Take Philips and slot screwdrivers and open panels. Read the logs. That will get you 90% there. Then request an annual. Quote
The-sky-captain Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Another vote for Don Maxwell... Quote
kurtsnyder Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Try David Bliss at McCauley Aviation just outside of Nashville. He maintains my Mooney along with a few others based on the field. Very honest, reasonable guy. PM me if you want more details or if I can help at all. I'm 30min outside of Nashville. Quote
