Piper have SAIB's

The various Piper aircraft seem to be easier to maintain than some of the equivalents about. The Tomahawk, for example, is very well constructed and laid out, and as a result a breeze to maintain.
There are bulletins and now FAA SAIB's that the LAME's would be referring to during their inspections of these types. Many of the problematic areas revolve around dis-similar metal corrosion issues.

An owner of these aircraft would presumably be reading the SAIB's and getting involved in preventative maintenance. A spray of Inox or or other CIC would go a long way to keeping their machine healthy.
Piper have a very good free subscription service for owners' also.
