Gentlemen, after taking my first flight over a couple miles from the airport (appx 30) and making it almost all the way back, I find I am in need of a new McCullogh 72 #3 cylinder jug. I found aluminum deposits on my plugs and found my cylinder chrome plating flaking.
Alternatively, I would be interested in a whole replacement engine of either 72 or 90, beggars not being choosers. I would hope it wouldn't cost more than a replacement jug from R&D. Anybody know of any old engines laying in the dirt anyplace? Didn't Rick Whittridge have one for sale awhile back?
Any posts welcome.
After getting a ride to the airport from the farmer whose hay field I landed in I was told by the airport manager I needed to find a new place to keep my gyro since the new hangar renter wanted me out, I may just sell the whole kit and kaboodle and put the money towards my nursing education and buy a sparrowhawk like Kenny J. after the goose lays the golden egg.
