Hello Thomas,

Jamon Pruitt just had his overhauled and might be a good resource for how that went.

Rocky! Hello sir. Karen and I thought that it was great getting to know you at the fly in. Looking forward to many fly outs from the fly ins with yo in the future.

For your assembly, please email Mr. Dave Smith. davesf17@yahoo.com

Some thoughts given the age of the engine and my experience:

My C model had a 72 Factory reman IO-520. It crapped the bed 6 years ago with a lite case and non-VAR crankshaft-the most logical solution was a factory reman. Not sure what the 73 looks like but a R&R with a factory reman is probably $55-60K if not higher if you do a prop IRAN,…[Read more]

Are you not bringing back the South Africa bird Rocky?

Looks like a good bird. If you guys pass let me know. I think your pricing logic makes sense.

John-I was at OSH for a couple of days last week and looked for my 200 brethren, but did not dig too hard. Tell Ross hello. F 35’s and F 18’s were awesome!!

I own 196M, which is a 1964 C model. It has a IO 520 factory remain installed Jan 2017 with GAMI’s. I do not do a lot of long distance cross country so I rarely climb above 5K and…[Read more]

Jump in Rocky! Be nice to get that one back to the States.

Rocky-welcome to the 200 family! Have you posted a for sale on your Bo?

Stephen-please share if you can. Always willing to see something new.
