Oh well Dragchute/gaunty....I guess you are both correct, and I bow to you infinite intelligence and knowledge [quote]As for looking at a cute little KA100 in Sacramento I would have to say forget it. The US market is full of low time ten or twenty year old Turbines. The first shop visit in this country reveals a multitude of Service Bulletins and AD’s that must be effected before placement on the register. Open the engine and you have another can of worms. It may well be that half the engine components, regardless of condition are time expired or subject to AD’s or SB’s requiring replacement to bring them up to current mod status. Been there, done that and wont get caught again!<hr></blockquote>. . <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
