The two answers you've received thus far are (IMHO) at the extreme high end of what it will actually cost. I sure hope so. Actually, I hope to find something that has 1000 or more hours left on the engine so that I'm not looking at an overhaul within the first couple of years. We'll see...the looking has only just begun. Got some good prospective partner opportunities though...that's a start. Heck, if I get an airplane before OSH this year, I may just *have* to fly to Oshkosh via Iowa City :-) If you can find a reputable local shop to do the rebuild, you can get the same -- or better -- workmanship for thousands less. Start asking around at your airport -- you'll get the real skinny about local shops pretty quickly. There's a good shop at my home airport and I'm going to do just that when I get a chance. I'd agree, if I can find something locally with great workmanship, why go elsewhere? -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL, IA Student, airplane partnership student "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
