Howdy all,
Looking for some advice from experienced folks. I've never purchased an aircraft and have recently started looking online. Almost all the aircraft are hundreds of miles away and while I have some aviation experience, I'm not an A&P and I don't know the way these types of inspections/sales/purchases are typically handled.
If I find something I am seriously interested in do I hire an A&P (local to that area) to go there and check out the aircraft for me?
I don't have the time available to drive 500 miles to casually look at every plane I want to know more about.
I feel like the way to go is to get an impartial opinion from someone on site and then make an offer, and once a deal is reached, go pick up the aircraft w/a trailer.
Any info on how this stuff actually works would be helpful. I don't want to make odd requests or overlook something due to inexperience.
Quicksilver type LSA on floats (hopefully) is what I'm going for.
Thanks!
