Our very own Bob Steward held up as an Expert on pre-buy inspections to the world in EAA Magazine! Pg 104 of the December 2005 issue of “EAA Sport Aviation” has an article in the nuts & bolts section called “Smart Shopping” with lots of good advice on pre-buy inspections!The author, Jeff Simon, holds up Bob Steward as a type-specific expert, and has two paragraphs devoted to Bob’s sage advice, even though Bob is quoted as an expert in (actually states ‘almost exclusively’) Grumman Aircraft!
Although this article is very general in nature, it is VERY specific about what to look for in ANY used plane purchase!
Wish I’d spent a little more time reading about this before I got my Sport!
Way to go, Expert Bob!
