I've read the insurance posts. Good points. I'm trying to get our agent
to give me some idea as to what I'm looking at. They do tell me that my
having some complex/hiperf time is good, and that my instrument rating
is getting me a break on rates.

At this point it is expected that I will have to have at least 15 hours
(w/ CFI) in type and possibly 25 before passengers (that is, solo or
CFI to a total of 25 hours). So I figure this is a good time to do all
the commercial prep and check ride.

The pre-purchase inspection is one that I hadn't really thought about,
but it makes *VERY* good sense considering the disaster that I had when
I bought our PA28.

And you have another good point, inventory of what the partnership owns
(hand helds, oil, etc.).
