cylinder repair

[mulwyk]

Can anyone recommend a good shop for a cylinder repair on my A-65? The St. Louis Engine ad in Trade-A-Plane promises a complete cylinder repair for $125. Anyone had experience with these guys?

Repair shop

Bob,

Don't know where you're located, but I had a top overhaul done on all four 200 hours ago, and still happy. Cost me more like $200 per though.

I could recommed Poplar Grove Airmotive (close to Rockford, IL). 815-544-3471

Good luck,

$99 plus parts and I have had good luck with him so far.......He took over Earl Biter's operation when Earl retired last year.

Good luck. Of course if you need some cylinders, you could check out my web page too at http://T-Restore.biz (LLC) I've got cylinders................

Hi Jon,

Should I tell you then that the Spartan at Poplar Grove Airport you mention is for sale? (Don't sell the Taylorcrafts!!!)

Yes, Mike, I talked to the owner at Oshkosh. Only $400,000 and she's (the plane, not the owner) yours!

Nice lady......Northwest or United pilot as I remember...husband was the other.
