Says the engine was an O-320 series. She told her husband just before
the crash she was losing power.
Another victim of a Lycosaur.


Do you really want to argue that Lyc's safety record is worse than the
vast majority of other piston engines used in aircraft?

I personally think you using this accident, with absolutely nothing to
support it was an engine failure, to back-up whatever you have against
Lyco engines is kind of tacky.

Hm. Was thinking much the same, even if I like neither
the medieval US engines nor me-too usenet replies.
