You might want to take a look at this article about the Lycoming Engines http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/354-full.html - 189180   it might just make that rotary engine worth more, or put the price of a Lycoming out of reach for us common people.

Greetings,

 

I think the Bellsouth email is working now, so let's see.  

 

I'm still trying to decide what to do in the long term for all these dang planes that I have laying around.  One of the things I have to consider is the possibility of selling the RV-3 later this year, when I get the Kolb flying.   I just can't decided if there's any market for a rotary powered RV-3 though.  I'm guessing that my plane would sell for $25K-$30K with a reasonably fresh 160 Lycoming in it.   I wonder  how much the rotary engine would affect that price?  I'm guessing that it would just be a matter of finding the right buyer, which could take a while.  Don't know that I'd be in any hurry though.

 

Again, just thinking about the options.   Hey Ken P, did you ever get your technically un-airworthy Cessna home?  

 

Cheers,

Rusty (hoping to see this message appear soon)
