View source for Inspection Horror Stories

Post your story about an annual or a pre-purchase gone horribly wrong, so that others can learn from your experience and hopefully avoid the same pitfalls in the future.

The names of the shops, mechanics, owners and the N numbers need not be posted, to avoid embarrassment and to encourage more people to share their stories.


== A First Time Owners First Annual ==
I originally submitted this "story" as a number of posts to the Grumman Gang mailing list.  I am including the original post (with some updates) replies, and some lessons learned here in the hopes that it helps other new aircraft owners.  Thanks to the many gang members who replied, I have learned a lot from this experience!
