    Engine TBO (years, not hours) question

    yup. the moisture created by combustion doesnt burn off because the engine doesnt get hot enough and isnt put away hot... or at least thats how it was explained to me.

    Engine TBO (years, not hours) question

    Good to hear. At a minimum I'm thinking I need to negotiate room for some new hoses and various other parts to freshen it up if everything looks good inside. I was just wondering if they start to go downhill fast after 20 years.

    Engine TBO (years, not hours) question

    So I understand TBO on the Lycoming O-360 is 2000hrs OR 12 years whichever comes first. What are your thoughts on engines that were overhauled a long time ago and technically out of time, but not hours. I'm looking at one that was overhauled 20 years ago with 575 hours since. Chrome cylinders...

    Suggestions for Orlando flight

    I have only flown into KORL so I wont comment on any FBOs in Kissimmee, but I'll just say that Kissimmee is significantly closer to Disney for you if that matters.

    172R Windows open in flight.

    I'll also add that if you unhook the retaining arm, the airflow will pin the windows up underneath the wings and they wont move. Its nice when its hot and its also very helpful if you are taking pictures.
