Rolls-Royce O-200? by [email protected]
pardon my ignorance... Is a rolls-royce O-200 the same as a continental O-200? I mean specifically same overhaul times, same parts, same maintence, etc? I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some orphan engine. Thanks, Ryan in Madison
