    I’ve worked as a federally licensed aircraft mechanic for 40 years. The single most important thing you can do is a thorough records inspection. Not only on the aircraft but the engines, propellers and avionics. Each may have Airworthiness Directives issued against them. The second is a thorough annual inspection. Don’t skimp on this inspection as you have no personal history on this aircraft. Most aircraft manufacturers have an aging aircraft inspection that can be done as well and especially where you’re looking at composite materials in the elements for an extended time. It’s an area where you need to put some good focus. Good luck on your adventure. You will certainly get plenty of content from this project. Expensive as it maybe. Enjoy!

And let's not even talk about the cost of (probably) having to fix the air conditioning - it was over $18 for the last time I had on fixed.....

    Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, forget about the plane! I did NOT recognize Joe. Mr. Joe aged backwards. He looks 20 years younger. Rebuilding Rescue Joe is amazing. He's the new improved Joe. In my humble opinion, Joe looks so much better without his beard and hair. He's got a solid chin. Oh yeah, the plane looks like a project. Honestly, I'd never gamble on a Cirrus. From other UA-camrs and vids, it seems like it's one horror story after another.

    Fair warning, as someone who works at a Cirrus Authorized Service Center - the slight aileron droop means you might need to do heavier control work than you expect. It should always stay perfectly centered.

      @@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Leaving all of this exposed for so long will just result in stuff breaking down. The cables themselves, after sitting in the heat, might lengthen slightly, bearings and pulleys may break - just general wear and tear, exacerbated by the lengthy period in the elements (which can bring a lot of thermal stress into parts). There's a reason Cirruses are almost always kept hangared.

    No way I would buy a vehicle sight unseen and especially wouldn't buy an airplane without seeing in person..way too many variables and pics can be doctored in an airplane. Add in that's it's a citrus, and sitting that long in an area of 4 seasons. I'm not an expert in cirus but knew that CAP would need repacked after that many years.
    I'm a firm believer in, it it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I love cirus airplanes but I would have passed on this one. I think your going to get way over your head on this one, especially with the water leak, interior, CAP system and avionics...all I can say is good luck

    Give me a 210 over a Cirrus every day of the week. The FAA should issue an STC to be able to label the chute inop and fly it. It's like every other airplane then. If I lost an engine on one, I likely wouldn't pull the chute and take my chances with a normal off field landing.
