Default RV-9A pre-purchase inspection help in FL

Hi all,

A buddy of mine and I are thinking seriously about purchasing a flying RV-9a. I am looking for ideas for a pre purchase inspection in Florida. Seemed to me someone that was familiar with RV's would make more sense than a certified shop. If you have any good ideas please let me know.

cheers

Geoff

Default Insp.

Get in touch with Smokey Ray. He's on the forums here and has probably done more pre-buys in FL. than anyone else. He's also a builder and knows all the ins and outs of RV type aircraft.
