RE: New AVIASTAR 46 thread
I haven't totally given up on the Aviastar 46 yet. I had 4 of them(bought 2 and got 2 on a trade) before the rod let go on one, so I had a replacement. I have since installed it on the Cessna, and I'm gonna try again this week. I have, however, decided to spend more time running the engines on the ground, before I try them in the air...once bitten, you know. I've got to admit, the engines were sounding great together, and I was thinking to myself that I had still gotten a pretty good deal on some good engines..... and then one broke....oh well, maybe this time is the charm....also, I made sure to pull the back off the other engines and check the con rods. Everything looks good. Cross your fingers....
