The rust in there
I need your advice on an airplane that I am close to buying, but what gives me pause is the amount of time it’s been sitting. Worse, is that it has only flown a few hundred hours in over 10 years.
The aircraft has been stored in a hangar (unheated in a moderately damp climate) and my potential partner thinks the Lycoming O-360 is probably loaded with rust. Should we be concerned?
