troystandish | thanks

Hey Mike,

As you know, I hope to be announcing that I will have acquired a Seawind very shortly, but right now I would like to thank you for all your hard work, making your Poa, buying, and Annual lists available to us all. They are very informative, and, for me personally, makes me more confident in moving forward into the Seawind world.

Thank you.

Mike

your welcome - Anytime

mike reibling | Omg

That is a big list no wonder it takes me 1 hour of inspection for every hour of flying.

One thing you could add. I didn't see inspect the counter weight on the rudder. Mine has come loose in the past. Other than that I think you got it. Maybe too good. Lol

Oh.. check to make sure there is a small hole in the crank case vent line and that it is clear.

Mine didn't have one and I froze up mine and pushed my oil out the prop seal.. ( big mess)
