Hello Everyone:
I am reluntantly selling my Davis DA-2A because I will probably deploy soon and I cannot justify the hangar expense.
I have a potential buyer that has agreed to my price. He is unable to pick-up the aircraft himself so he he is sending a ferry pilot. The ferry pilot does not want to determine if the aircraft is acceptable to the buyer or not. I have suggested that he get a local A&P from where I live to give it a prepurchase inspection before the ferry pilot gets here. He would rather do the inspection himself.
I do not feel comfortable having a stranger fly my airplane a great distance to be inspected by another stranger to determine whether or not they agree that it is airworthy. The buyer has agreed to pay the ferry cost if he declines it, but then I wouldn't be able to sell to anyone else while it is gone.
To make matters worse, I have someone else that is very interested in the plane who I like more.
What should I do? Any suggestions?
