Clearly on EuroGA we all have individually and collectively a lot of knowledge some of which is because we do spend time here. However I’m familiar with many pilots who never really became interested in forums at all.IMO, Those guys would more likely aim for an early time engine.
All the fuss has been done, the engine has gone through the early risk stage, and settled into it’s groove.
Personally I like the idea of a run-out engine with associated low price.
Probably similar distinction between the two types of owners being:
- one type is interested and involved in all the details as is clearly the case here on EuroGA…. and more likely to buy a plane with a run-out engine
- the other type only wants to fly and just gives the keys to the maintenance shop when something isn’t right and says “fix it”…. and maybe doesn’t even know when something isn’t right.
