I have recently taken over unmothballing a 6-A. This plane is nearly complete. aside from a few fairing sandings, seatbelts, and empanage fairing installation, this gal is good to go. she has an IO-360-bIE, with 0 hours. a custom Bernie wernike (think thats right) prop. complete IFR panel.this was a paid for build by a local physician that lost a desire to fly following some personal tragedy. Anyway, heres the kicker. He lost the desire after engine install, 12 years ago! the plane has been sitting, hangared, with a bi-weekly hand propping and airframe dusting. the canopy had not been opened this entire time. After consulting a few A&P's who found no reason not to flush it with fuel and crank her over, I did. Happily it ran after one revolution and continues to do so. I find no rot or corrosion anywhere. both the magneto and the CDI work great. any suggestions of things to look for that may be problem areas before finally getting this plane buttoned up and inspected? I admit that I have been taxiing her for several hours now without any squawks. Any input will be helpful
