KSMooniac Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Sure sounds like a wise trade to me! I'll be interested to hear how the IO-520s do for you with LOP ops...hopefully you get a long, trouble-free life out of them! I shudder at owning/maintaining 12 cylinders compared to the 4 I have now. However, your rationale does seem to make plenty of sense, and the TN A-36 vs. Baron anecdote is quite enlightening. Quote

jax88 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I like the comparison. IMO, too many aircraft purchasers get caught up reading the book numbers and lose sight of their anticipated mission. Quote
