Check 6,
I was on the verge of buying an old ground power unit 0-290 and doing just as you suggested with the G3i ignition and the one hole mag case and a IA talked me out of it. He said the cost would be right up there with a rebuild on a once run out 0-320 rebuild and getting more hp in the end with the 0-320 for sure. His logic is.... if you are going to convert something why not just start out with that engine to begin with and not worry about problems that may arise doing the conversion.
Back to the question...does the BH LSA need an 0-320 for short field work and floats? Does it need flaps and fold down double doors for the same reasons?
Doors: Yes
Flaps: Maybe
0-320: Dunno?
Thoughts?
Bugs,
Where do you buy CM in Spokane or better yet CDA?
