No calendar items except for the pitot static and O2 bottle check every 24 months. Inspections were strictly time items. 200 hour A Check, 400 hour B Check, and 800 hour C Check. You could park in the hangar and not have to pay for inspections if you weren't using it. Great airplane, just didn't have the sex appeal to make it appealing to the buyers. Just thought I would chime in. Carry on....
