New Engine

[Todd Gessel]

Thanks Ernie for the info on the dye penetrant inspection, I was unaware of that test.

Herb,
This airplane has been in my family for many years, in storage in a hanger. I know 800 hours is pretty incredible. It's got to be one of the lower time Skymasters around. After I earned my multi-engine rating, I started flying it in January ('09). It's an awesome aircraft. Unfortunately, I had a main gear door actuator fail and result in a main gear up/rear prop strike. Thus, the new engine. See my posts from July. Fortunately, the insurance company is covering part of the engine cost.
