I would give that plane back to who ever he got it from...

Hey Jeff,

When I bought the plane, it had 1940 hours on the airframe and engine
(1976 Sundowner). I bought it KNOWING that major overhaul was in my
future. I just didn't know how soon in my future it would be. I bought
it for 38K. It was well equipped avionics wise.

Because of the low time hours (and the fact it was only flown 20 hours
in the prior 3 years!), that my problems were a result of LACK of
usage. Grease, lubrication drying out, settling and so on.

Now that I have had the overhaul and hopefully got the gremlins out, the
expenses are stabilizing. I fly 2 times a week, weather permitting, so
parts get well lubed now *smile*.
