Radial Engine Rebel?
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:46 pm
Well, for anyone who's interested, I have decided against the radial engine. In short, I emailed/spoke to 6 people flying it and without exception they all had nothing negative to say. The two main reasons I decided against it were:
1. limited accesss to parts and knowledgeable repair persons/facility w/ 1000 TBO
2. a not so much complicated but rather involved start-up/shut-down procedure that I don't think would lend itself to bush flying
I do love the radials and I was thissss close! Lyc here I come. Craig
