Buying a vintage airplane can be complicated. I bought two airplanes prior to this one and I learned some hard lessons along the way. As I fly to Port Clinton, I explain the first part of the process I used to buy this airplane. While I'm near Port Clinton I decide to do a fly-by of Cedar Point.
The thumbnail is a friend and I flying N16DR back after I finished the purchase.
I originally wasn't happy with how this turned out and didn't plan to release it - the autopilot wouldn't engage so hand flying on a bumpy day led to (more) stammering (than usual). But here it is - I don't have a lot of time for video making (more on that later), so I decided I might as well just put it up on the interwebs.
An example of the spreadsheet I'm talking about: drive.google.com/file/d/1ajhX...
