TBO

Tricky Subject !

1) You can hit TBO if you put more than a 250 hrs / yr on them. More you fly the longer the engine life. Training schools will tell you this.

2) lots of oil changes.

3) Hanger Queens do not fair well. Look out for corrosion.

4) Lower RPM's help to some extent.

5) Don't try 50% power takeoffs <G>.

Turbo charged engines ....... not a chance !

my thoughts

Bob
