Well, guess this is the classic new owner nightmare. I just purchased
my 65 Alon in Dec, and thought I had a valid prebuy done. But now 4
months later and only about 10 hours of flying time I take it in for
annual....and get the big shocker! It's making metal, loads of bearing
material, and my A&P guesses it has been for some time.
The C-90 had about 1300hrs on it when I bought it I really thought I
would get a few good years of flying out of it before it had to be
over-hauled. Worst part is my A&P called the engine shop and looks like
the damage is in the neighborhoood of $11,500 to rebuild! OUCH!
Now I am looking at options, I know will have to plunk down a pile of
money, but wanted to see what I may do other than over-haul the current
engine. What about an 0-200? Any opinions on converting to an 0-200?
Pros? Cons?
Thanks in advance for your input.
