Happy Halloween GPA!
No tricks, but here are some treats!

New Video Formats
There are a couple of new types of videos that we have tried. One uses the Savvy maintenance data display to show engine-operating levels such as CHT, Fuel Flow, and RPM. In other videos we use still and text panels to carry the message.
Keep the suggestions coming.

There is a YouTube video covering plastic products, ‘LP Plastic Window Polishes – Grumman Style’, Enjoy!
Airplane Prices
One of the things that the GPA helps people with is finding their own Grumman. So we have a fairly good idea of the price of the planes that are selling. We do also see the same birds over and over.
Prices are up right now on Grummans so there are a lot of planes on the market that have been sitting for awhile with brand new price tags. Shop with care and be sure and demand a good pre-purchase from a knowledgeable Grumman shop.

That is a low time airframe and you should count on the engine NOT making it to TBO, would suspect pitting on the cam and followers at the least.
FYI

What’s the chances that a single owner ‘79 Cheetah that’s now on the market with 858 original hours could go to close to TBO without some issues? New owner put a nice paint job on it to sell. I’m wondering about the effects of corrosion on engine components once the bird starts flying.
Thanks for any input,
