Auster AOP9's

[Grob Driver]

Hello,

Does anyone on Pprune, have any experience with Auster AOP9’s? I’m thinking of buying one and just wondered if anyone can offer some advice as to what to look for? Is there anywhere particular on the airframe that I need to inspect for corrosion etc? Are there any known ‘problems / snags’ on the aircraft that I need to look out for? Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks

Try asking again on the Auster thread in the Nostalgia forum.

As far as I know an AOP9 is strong enough to fly into a brick wall and fly out the other side! Seriuosly though, I know nothing of their individual foibles as they are quite different to my J1 Autocrat
