Kathy,
I think I'd test the water before you decide that a
small plane isn't saleable. Go to www.traderonline.com, and you can place
an add for $0.00. Yes, that's no down, and nothing a month until it
sales. If you want photo's, you'll have to pay a little more than
that. When I sold my Coupe, I placed that add, and I had about 4 buyers
lined up just in case the one before them pooped out. Don't know if I got
enough or not, but I did get exactly what I was asking for it.

Ok, Guys, calm
down.
My problem is I'm short on cash + need to protect my Coupe.
I had someone flying her about every 2 months, but they're moving from AZ to
CA, thus I have no one to fly her now. I need someone current in Coupes,
trustworthy and very safe. Wouldn't you want references, too, if it was
your plane and you didn't know the pilot?
If the economy was better
either I'd have the $ I need, or I would sell my Coupe, but understand small
planes are selling for about half their value right now.

Go
tell them they are stupid and of course tell them the correct way to do it, at
least tell them your way because that appears to be the
best. Dick & Nancy

By me saying run it once in a while I of course did not assume that some one
would be stupid enough to start it and shut it down before it was up to
temperature.
I didn't intend to imply anyone was
stupid. What folks don't realize is that you cannot get the engine warm
enough on the ground to get the oil up to 180 and keep it there for 1/2 hour,
long enough to boil off the condensation, without exceeding the cylinder head
temperature limitations. Oil and engine manufacturers agree: ground
running is worse than letting the engine sit. My philosophy is: if you
start it you better fly it.
BTW, there are a lot of
"stupid" people out there. All you have to do is go to the airport some
Saturday during the winter and watch them spend 20 minutes preparing then 10
minutes running the engine then another 20 minutes closing everything
up.
