Not a school aircraft - owner has approached us to teach his sons to fly, so engineering is not in our hands.
He's been so adamant that there is nothing wrong with it that I was just checking that it's not us being paranoid and that Robins aren't supposed to have the nose wheel lock up in the nose right position - never had a chance to check if any others do the same.
Sounds like we need to refuse to fly it - not like we're paid by the hour anyway.
Incidentally, all paperwork and maintenance records appear to be in order, otherwise we wouldn't be flying it at all.
Thanks for the input.
Troy.
