Such an excellent boat anchor.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 14,782 Likes: 544 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts! Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 14,782 Likes: 544 | The O-320-H2AD taught Lycoming to never again introduce an engine with an "AD" in the model name....  Because of the paperwork hassle this airplane would almost best be sold for parts. Or trade the O-320 for a good O-200 and turn it back into a normal 150. Alternatively, a buyer in Canada could de-certify it and fly under their owner-maintenance program. That would be neat!

log books are not up todate no recent annual
aircraft is together engine can be run This sounds like a good deal to walk away from!

Never run out of altitude, airspeed, and ideas at the same time.

Could be an engine core swap if the STC is there as it indicates, but as Patrick says....with all of these "non-certified" issues, you have to wonder what else is lurking so...
