Thanks for the info everyone! This info is exactly what I am looking for.
From my message it does give the impression that I am perhaps moving to quick. However, I been looking for a long time and found nearly exactly what I have been looking for and it is local. I don't beleive that I will ever find the perfect plane, but that can be fixed with do-dads and gizmos in the future.
Past experience has shown me, if it feels right, move quick before the other guy does... And the other guy already has!
This plane is in excellent condition and is owned by an A&P. He took this plane on as a project and went through it from front to back. I am confident that this is a deal, even with my counter offer...
Thanks,
Tim
