REFLECTOR: Aircraft Inspection prior to flight

[Ralph Pierce]

I did my first flight in 29RP, a 173EliteRG, on 8 Nov 01.  Since then I have had some 
medical problems and I am not sure that I will be able to fly it again.  I am looking at 
selling it.  But before selling, I decided to have Steve Murphree, an approved Velocity
A & P, and CFI, perform a pre-purchase inspection.  I wish I had done that before my
first flight.  He was very thorough and found and helped me correct some discrepancies
that I had overlooked.  I would highly recommend that anybody building a Velocity out 
in the hinderland (like Idaho), give Steve a call and have him inspect your aircraft.  He 
also put a couple of hours flying time on it, letting me ride along, which I really appreciated.

                                                                    Hope to fly again some day,
                                                                            Ralph Pierce
