    Thanks, Homer. It made your tale much more interesting to have some idea what the issue is.

    Well I apologize for my "TALE" not being interesting. I apologize for posting something that appeared to be a "TALE". It is far from a "TALE", and I have put a lot of pro-bono time and effort into it to help the Gentleman out rather than just tell him "tough luck, you are grounded".

    Some of us just like the dirty details. Good job spotting the descrepency. It amazes me some of the unscrupulous things people do.

    Relax Homer!
    We LOVE your "tales" and by that, I am certain you are describing the truth. Keep that info coming!

    I learn from it all and I LOVE to learn from others' mistakes. So much easier than my own!

    to note ( and a little off the buy topic ), I even send for the CD when I am selling someones aircraft just to assure the records are in order.

    I order the CD before I start a pre-buy.

    I know, but I am trying to keep a lid on this. This is one of those things we talked about in another thread where if not handled properly will only end up with a couple of Lawyers driving Lambourginis before it gets resolved.

    It was a "tale"! I looked up the definition to be sure as I am aware that there are several definitions. Here is definition #1..a narrative that relates the details of some real or imaginary event, incident, or case; story:
    a tale about Lincoln's dog.
    Unfortunately, you chose to go with another!
    I had several thoughts after reading your initial account, and the follow up info that I asked you to post, e.g.: 1. how could somebody do that and get away with it for so long? 2. I saluted you for your experience and knowledge to be able to catch something like that, and also to follow up with the appropriate people!
    I really apologize if I ticked you off with my selection of nouns. It was actually meant as a compliment, and with my thanks for sharing on this forum. In the future I will be much more careful to assure that there can be no misconstruing of my statements!
    Now, back to the original topic please!

    I found an engine crank AD that was never done for 9 years on a twin, it was signed off 9 times by different mechanics!!! I didn't play that sweet talk by the owner either, those engines came off...
