Looking at a Cub purchase, NOW WITH PICS!!! and some Moore QUESTIONS

[JoeyC]

Hey guys. The search has been a long one and it's still ongoing, lol. Anyway, the question I have is what are some key questions to ask while looking over the plane? I am going to head over tomorrow to look at this particular aircraft. I briefly spoke to the owner via email. The aircraft was recovered (Ceconite in 2001) and the engine only has 100hrs since Overhaul.

I guess what I should be asking is, for an aircraft that only has 1400hrs Total time, how many hours has it flown a year the last few years, when was the engine overhauled? Why are you selling etc? If the aircraft "looks good" of course I'm going to get a thorough pre-buy/full annual but what other questions should I be asking? I remember a few months back someone posted a "questions to ask" but with a new computer I no longer have it.

Thanks
