Hey folks,
I've decided, and he budget is about right, to buy an airplane to train and get to 250 in. I have found several cessnas and pipers with good time and prices on them.
Before I buy one of these trainers, is there an air plane thats commonly used for engine upgrades? In other words, it's it possible to buy a piston single thats commonly upgraded to a turbocharged engine or Allison? What I'm hoping I can do is at major overhaul, go ahead and replace the engine and not the entire craft, since about that time, my load and budget will both be increased. I know this is common with a few Twins, but those are way to pricey for me.
If the best fits for this are experimentals or lancairs, Id prefer to sell and buy another..
Thanks for comments
