Triad Aviation?
It looks like the Archer needs a new engine. We're just short of 2,000
hours, the pressures are all 70 or above, and it's not making metal, but there is a lot of loud piston slap going on. We get mixed opinions about whether or not this can cause a sudden stoppage, so we're probably erring on the side of caution. At any rate, the best price we can find is for a rebuild with new Lycoming cylinders for $15,000 from Triad Engines. I'm not too sure about trusting a shop named after an international crime syndicate, but what the heck, that's over 3,000 less than a Penn Yan, Mattituck or Lycoming factory OH. I would appreciate any direct knowledge about this company. Anyone have any direct experience with these guys, in Burlington, N? Thanks. Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) N44511 |
