After many fits and starts I finally focussed my efforts on 8184C. I test flew 84C on February 12, 2011. She was a great plane. She was as described by her current owners and no real surprises came up during my inspection. Currently she is going through a pre-buy / annual inspection. I'm hoping for no surprises here and I look forward to bringing her to her new home in New Bedford Massachusetts in the next week or so.

Back to my search; 5 months and too many planes (about 30). After ordering 8 CD's from the FAA, I was worried they were going to inquire what I was doing. As I have time, I will fill in the background of my search with each of these as best I can remember.
