WHEW!!
Just got word of my (first) annual inspection on my PA-18.
"The nice man" said it's in fine shape, except for the fabric (I knew that) and the right hand (#1&2 cyl) exhaust manifold is leaking. He says it's been welded before & is not likely to hold up to being fixed again. New one is US$450+ so I'm looking for a serviceable used one. Is this possible? Where's a good place to look? How do I make a hands-off buying decision? Do I haft'a buy a newie (& go without beer for 2 weeks)?
Somebody help me!
