Howdy! I'm new in town and figured I'd try to combine an introduction with a plea for help! I'm a former bush-pilot turned A320-driver by day, and I'm in desperate need of a way to get my stick-and-rudder fix, while also finding a project to wrench on.

I'm in the process of trying to purchase a Model IV out in Central PA. I live further west in Pittsburgh, and I am having an absolute devil of a time finding someone to help me with a pre-buy. The airplane is out of conditional, which is a hurdle, but not what I'm worried about at this juncture. Mostly what I need is someone with a bit more KitFox experience than I have to look over my shoulder and make sure I'm not missing anything that would take this airplane from, "flying project," to structurally or mechanically deficient. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful!
