Oh yeah, especially when we try to do it with old parts.

Went years trying to get my airplane to have its annuals in the winter --
bringing it in the end of the month due, so it could be signed off the
following month.

Finally worked my way around to January.

Annual -- "you've got a cracked case".

After investigating options, I decided for a Lycoming factory overhaul.

Engine availability there (and elsewhere) was nil for a while. I wasn't
flying again until May sigh.

This year I finally got back to a January annual.
