Speak with Leroy Muise at Columbia Aviation in Bar Harbor Maine 207-667-5534 It is less than a half hour flight and you will get a great prebuy. Leroy worked on my Comanche and was a great wrench. He now is General Mgr. up to Columbia.

Is it at Maine Aviation in Portland? If so, no straighter shooting family in Maine, great bunch with a great shop staff. Al Caruso is an active member here with a drop dead cub.
Dan Dufalt, aka cub amigo around here lives just northeast of PWM and is a good wrench and knows his way around Cessnas
I know of a couple more names of IA as well not far away
If you need someone to just cast an eye on it and send you some pix, I will be driving by on Sat afternoon, let me know.
