Years ago, I was buying something from some feller
and he was kind of high. When I asked for a little better deal and said I
was used to buying 'em from this other fellow for a lot less but he was out; he
told me real quick like that he could even sell 'em cheaper than the
other fellow when he didn't have 'em either. I guess price is not
something to even gripe about if you can't get 'em. And, I will admit that
the price might not seem too bad when/if you need housings anyway. Oh well, I
'll just stay happy with my junker, as long as it lasts; then I can worry about
some of that kind of stuff. But, let's face it, if the pp engines don't keep
running at low rpms and/or idle well, even though their high rpms can
be right down our aircraft use alley with proper psru gearing, they will
not be much good to us; it seems aircraft actually do have to have an
engine that keeps running on/in slow flight, too.

I wouldn't mind spending $5000.00 to knock 50
pounds off my engine weight. I could then take out the 25 pounds of
noseweitht, knocking a total of 75 pounds off of my 1150 pound canard.
I saved so much by using a "junk yard engine" in the first place, I'd
still be way ahead of a Lycoming. However, I guess it doesen't matter
how much they cost if they are not available. Paul
