Piper Chuck,

This is exactly what I was thinking about doing and what the most people at my club were leaning towards.

Race City,

It isn't that I don't save up, it's just that I can't justify spending $200 on an engine at my skill level. I am also only an intermediate pilot and there is a chance that someday the plane will crash. When and if it does, I don't want to loose a ridiculous amount of money. I have plenty of time left in my life for fancy and expensive engines, so I just don't want to rush into things.

Thanks to everyone who took their time to give me their advice.
