Thought I'd make a quick post about our annual this year. Came in just
over
$1k, for the normal inspection, plus:


Good job, Ben. We had our first really "good "one ever, this year, at
around $700.00.

Another couple of those, and it will make up for that first $4900.00 one!

Lessie, based on my calculations, you need about 15 more years of $400.00
annuals to make up for that $14,380 one. Wow, now that's an annual.

And it was 90% labor.
50 hours inspection---after the the pre-buy was done. This was $3000.00

It would seem like your old shop must have taught my old mechanic how to pad
the bill, eh?

I have seen the IA repair his car and charge the labor to my plane.
Attorney says it would most likely cost more to take them to court.
If they did not have my log books I would have called the Sheriff, got my plane
and said see ya.

I surely hope that you have posted the name of these criminals somewhere on
Usenet. You've got to save your fellow pilots from these folks!

$35K for an annual goes far beyond the norm, into the realm of the obscene.

Was this something major overlooked by the pre-buy, or did you knowingly
buy a fixer-upper?
