Buying an AA5-B
I want to buy an AA5-B (Tiger) and have two questions.
After some reasonably extensive web searches and looking in the back of the various UK GA magazines I've only been able to find a couple for sale. Does anybody know of any other sources or specifically of one for sale? It occurs to me that a good place to look is the various club noticeboards - has anybody seen anything on their local one?
Secondly, delamination can be an issue with these planes (1976-79 models). Is an engineer's report (virtually) guaranteed to detect this? Does a current and valid CofA offer any assurance about it? i.e. would a check be made for it during a CofA inspection and even if it does can the onset of it be sudden such that a 6 month old CofA doesn't help?
