"NW_PILOT"
shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:


-
-Inspection is done it was not that bad only a few squawks total parts outlay
-so far $285.00 and $180.00 of that was in spark plugs

Didn't nobody never tell you about Aircraft Spark Plug Service in Van Nuys? $75
would have gotten you a complete set of overhauled plugs for a 4-banger. The
drill is to send them your old plugs immediately after the annual and for about
$50 a set they will overhaul YOUR plugs and send them back yellow-tagged. You
then put them on the shelf for NEXT year's annual.


-Starter Bolts Not Safety Tied I Don't know how that was Missed on Pre
-Purchase and last Annual?

I'd let the IA put the words in the logbook. It appears that English is not
your primary language. See comment later about safety wire.



-Froze up pulley on elevator cable guide roller "barring was clogged with
-dirt/lint and grit cleaned lubed functions OK!"

Too many words. "Elevator cable guide roller bearing (sta 132) frozen.
Cleaned and lubricated bearing. Functional test OK.

Nobody really cares what the bearing was clogged with.




-
-
-This was the forth set of eyes on this bird in 1 year she is getting a lot
-of attention.

And three of them missed the starter safety wire? Without pulling the manual, I
can't remember whether the starter bolts have lockwashers or whether they
REQUIRE safety wire. Why do you think that safety wire is required?
