Whenever buying a plane with damage history, extra diligence is called for.

If the plane has many hours, and a few years since the repairs. And, if it
all still checks out, then safety is likely not a concern. So long as a good
AP can check out the 337's, and see that all the work is good (this may mean
looking under some panels), you are probably getting a good bird at a
bargain.

Marketability may be an issue though.

I'm starting a club and soon our members will meet to discuss our top
10 planes. 1 of the planes being considered has been in an accident
where the bird flipped over (C172). The repairs were preformed as
needed and the plane has been flying for many years.

Should a club consider this plane (even if it has been ok'd by an
independent A&P) or stay away from damages that might throw a gray
cloud over the value of the shares and the safty of the club.
