Browsing around at Turbo Arrows, I keep looking at this one:

http://www.barteltaviation.com/inve...1984-piper-turbo-arrow-iv?dlr=1&pcid=20&ssf=0

It seems to have a great set of mods, including the Merlyn wastegate, low total hours, good avionics package and nicely refreshed interior.

There are a few things that pop out at me from the logs that I wonder if they are concerning.
* Ferry tanks installed for overseas delivery. How much overweight was it flown? How does that affect the the wing attach points?
* Does being based and maintained overseas have an impact? I noted that the maintenance entries made there were the most detailed in the logs. Corrosion found and treated in several places.
* Nothing in the logs to indicate how the plane got back to North America. Ferry? Disassembly/shipped? Dunno.

It doesn’t say on this page, but other listings show them asking $99k.

Thoughts?
