Preflight

Quote:
"For starters, I know a good preflight goes a LONG way!"

"Your preflight becomes a group of experiences that scare you into checking certain things every time before you go fly."

"...my plane will have some inspection doors on the pulleys now, and I will check it before every flight!"

"Now I know to put a large access door near the carb so enough light can get in there, and I can look for things like this ... before every flight."

".... Now that is in my preflight."

"... how often does the average home (often first time builder) plan in a regular inspection cycle for the plane."

"My point is the Builder needs to spend as much time researching the problem areas of a plane as he does on historical research."

... The importance of a thorough preflight inspection, and a continuing maintenance program can never be overstated.

Spectacular stuff Jeff!
