If you aren't sure it's OK then it is NOT OK.

Not really. For me, the question is do I bother making the trip to the
airport, or do I wait for someone else to be the "canary in a cage". I've
also got a slightly nervous a passenger to consider......


The crux of the question really is .......

No, the crux of the question is this: why won't you, as putative PIC, just
make a decision? Why do you need a committee of people thoroughly
unfamiliar with the details to consult with and support you? You don't
fly an aircraft, particularly a single-pilot aircraft, by consensus.
You're clearly hesitant about the aircraft and don't really want to take
it, but you post to the NG in a way that says 'I'm bothered by this
craft, but I don't want anyone to think I'm a wuus'. Take it, or don't
take it, but make a decision. If there's not enough data to confirm
safety, then don't take it.
