Real-life TBO

[Richard K]

I just found and joined this site, great stuff. I've owned 2 Skymasters with mid-time engines that never caused any problems. I'm looking for another, but after reading all the posts I could find, am still wondering if some long time Skymaster owner(s) could estimate the hours a normally aspirated Skymaster engine will go before overhaul is needed IF it was properly cared for? I've been flying over 25 years, and have owned 11 planes, but never got to the point of needing an overhaul done.(most of my planes had mid-time engines).

Thanks,
Rich
