Re: Anything else on a $12,500 budget?

Charlie:
Your correct. I didn't even see a TBO, let alone a Projected TBO for that
R-2300 engine. Till you have some of them engines, actually making 500, 1000,
1500, 2000hrs, you don't really have any idea, what your getting for that $8000.
Joe, and the other Manufactures/Builders can say what they want, I like to see
the facts, which are Flying Hrs. Just like Hirth's claim of a 1000hr TBO at 75%
power on all of their engines. Show me (1) Hirth engine, that has made that
1000hr TBO mark. At least the O-200, was Certified to establish that 2000hr TBO
for your $22,000 New, investment.
What's the highest Flying hr:
Subaru = ????hr Probably John Finley
Corvair =
Mazda =
VW =
Jabaru =
Rotax 912 =
Rotax 582UL = I have seen 1300hrs and still flying. Both use lower max
rpms. The 582UL guy takes off at Max 5500rpms. New 582UL motors are around $5534
today from Lockwood.
Rotax 503UL = I have seen 1300hrs and still flying.
etc?
A guy e-mailed off list, he has 500hrs on his Subaru EA81 with a Turbo,
using it in direct drive configuration on a Dragonfly. Didn't say what HP he was
making at them Direct Drive RPMS. I would guess 55-60hp at those low Direct
Drive rpms with a Turbo. His engine cost him to build $3000. Even at
2000hr/500hr = 4, $3000x4= $12,000 he is ahead of the $$$ game. $22,000
new vs $12,000 used/rebuilt. But you also have to factor in all your down
time doing those rebuilds.
Charlie, there is a lot of NEW, NOS(New Old Stock), parts on ebay, and
Barnstormers, etc. The Big Expensive parts like the Case, Crank, CAM, etc., can
all be rebuilt. Most of the high wear parts will be all replaced with new parts.
If the used parts make spec., they can be reused. Since it's for an
Experimental, you can use aftermarket parts also. That PDF I gave a link to,
gave a list of every part to O Time a O-200.
On Barnstormers right now.

For $8000 for a R-2300 80hp, with an unknown TBO History, I still stand by,
that a O-200(100hp) built from scratch ebay, Barnstormer parts, or a core
engine, would be much better. But that R-2300 did look pretty!
