This spring, my club bought a 1973 200 HP Arrow with about 500 hours on the engine. Shortly after we bought it, we had to replace several cylinders and one piston (I'm not sure of the details of why they needed to be replaced). The oil pressure always indicates at the low end of the green...

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ.

Well we finally went and paid for our new bird. A 1964 Comanche 250. After months of deciding to buy it or get a small plane. We went down as they were doing the annual on it. All turned out good. All compression 72/80 with only 10 hours on the plane in the last year. Our first projects a Paint,...
