What to check before buying
Use the manual's daily inspection as a guide. Check the wing attach pins and safety pins, control stick play, pitot drain, tailwheel bearings, canopy emergency release, engine mounts, exhaust and hoses for leaks, and coolant and oil levels. The fuel cap must be the original vented one. Test the electrics: generator breaker 20 A, battery breaker 25 A.

Safety notes
- Never turn the propeller backwards. Contact with a spinning propeller is almost always fatal.

- The manual has a section on flying with wet wings and a warning label on the panel. Read it before flying in rain or wet conditions.
