Could someone please advise why spelling or grammatical errors in an advertisement should automatically point to the fact that it must be a scam?
Why should an engineer have to be able to spell correctly before being considered competent enough to be let loose with a spanner?
Why should self maintenance automatically be sub standard?
This whole thread is questioning someones integrity based on his spelling ability.

When they say the engine was fitted new by themselves, I doubt they mean they actually did it as private individuals.
Apart from the legalities of CofA, why not? what kind of supermen are required to fit an engine? I'm not an aircraft engineer, I have no cerstifficit to say I'm anything, but I can (could) certainly remove, strip, re-build & refit an engine from a PA28. Not sure about the Space Shuttle, I'd have to have a look first.

PS. Bad spelling Jock, It's not a aircraft it's an aircraft.
