C-172 versus Sundowner - epilogue
Well, I went and kicked the tires on the Sundowner.
It is roomy and the two doors are a lot more convienient than the single Piper door. But, to make a long story short, the plane had extensive and recent damage from a landing incident; prop strike, collapsed gear, one wing, fuselage, and tail feathers. Back to looking... -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.

C-172 versus Sundowner - epilogue
A banged up Sundowner with nose strike damage, sounds like someone did not
know how to fly. Where the repairs properly annotated and complete? should have not been a problem then.. BT wrote in message ... Well, I went and kicked the tires on the Sundowner.

Too much chance the work was done on the cheap. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.
