I was wondering what used engine sources are out there? I know there are literally countless numbers of individual engines for sale, but more of a 'buffet style' engine source?
There is a great guy in the DFW area (Weatherford, TX) who owns (owned) Bobby's Planes and Parts. He had hundreds of used engines to choose from, on racks as far as the eye could see. Want an O-320 with 100-hours? No problem. How about one right at TBO (which is obviously less money)? No problem....he had every kind of engine and variation you could ever want.
I called him today and he has recently sold out all of his inventory to a gentleman from out of state- who is not setup for his new business as of yet.
Just curious: do any of you know of a source such as this? Besides the O-320 I originally wanted from him, I am also looking for a source for a Continental O-200.
Thanks for any input. I figure someone on this forum probably has a really good company stored within their favorites folder? I am searching Google now and just thought I would ask around.
Thanks!
