I came across a fairly good deal on a Cessna 152 a couple of weeks ago but there was a catch. It had a high time engine, (a friend went to check it out so I don't really know how many hours were on the engine) and the data plate was missing. My friend said the guy really didn't have an answer why it was missing, he and another person have owned the plane for maybe 15 years and they have 4 or 5 other planes also. In a case like that, is it possible to get another data plate or is this a REALLY bad deal? I have already walked away from deal but I can't help but wonder, is this just a small matter, or a BIG matter. Can't wait to see what y'all have to say !
Thanks,
Bob
