I am looking at a pretty sweet deal on a 1st runout O-320H2AD 76 series (<$2800 complete - no prop strike 1900TT) (no "T" mod done). I have reviewed the AD's and understand the cam issue and I have some questions since I am totally new to this.
Are there a lot RVs flying this model? I see tons of 172N models with tons of time but does this come at a huge expense to maintain these engines?
Is it hard (i.e. expensive) to fulfill the AD?
Is it worth buying a 1900TT engine only to have it OH in a couple of hundred hours.
Since I will be using this in an RV4, I can rebuilt it myself and have my progress followed by an AP/IA right?
Are the dual mags in a single case a real issue?
Can I do light aerobatics with this model?
Am I better off with a different model?
I've read some great threads on lycomings in general but I hope to find specifics on this model.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
