Re: Inactive engine

Do logs show the oil and filter or screen was changed or serviced every 6 months? If so I would feel real good about it. If it has the same oil in it from 5 years ago, uhhhh maybe not feel so good.

Good choice. Just buy a C175 glider and a towing STC. The paperwork has already been done.
