Hi guys

I have just started looking for my first aircraft and have been doing all
the due diligence of reading up as much as I can.

What I am struggling with is the fact how do I go about locating a good
mechanic for a pre buy inspection far away from home assuming I do find
a plane that I do like and meets other requirements.

Any ideas...

Where do you live? If you live within a couple of hours of a reasonably
well populated area, appropriate aircraft will probably come up for sale
near you. Before then, you need to talk to the owners at your proposed home
field, identify potential candidate mechanics, and interview them with the
idea that your chosen mechanic will do both your pre-purchase inspection and
future maintenance on the airplane.

When you do find the right airplane, the best option is to negotiate a deal
pending the inspection and have the owner deliver the airplane to your
mechanic for inspection. That way, your mechanic will have access to his
tools and shop to facilitate a good inspection.
