Hello All, This isn't KR business but is aviation, so please be patient. As some of you know, I have a partnership involving a Beechcraft Sundowner. And the bad news is that we just had a catastrophic engine failure. Due to an oil failure, one of the connecting rods snapped and came through the case. The good news is that my partner is apparently an excellent pilot as he landed on a street (missing wires and poles) with no damage to the plane. The funny part is that since he is a cop, he immediately called out the force who closed off the roads and just towed him back to the airport - about 5 miles. The ongoing problem is that we need an engine. The Sundowner had an O-360 AFK. Anybody got one? Know of someone who does? We may be able to get by with a case, crank, one cylinder etc. won't know until we tear it down and have everything inspected. All the peripherals are OK. So, if anyone has any suggestions, would love to hear them. Please contact me off net. Thanks.
