Hi.
My left engine did not develop full power on my way out of Chicago to get to the fly-in and I had to abort, which was really sad after have come all the way from California to join you for the first time. I was devastated. Anyway, two cylinders were down and after I finally found a guy to pull them on the field he saw stuff he didn't like and he wouldn't sign off on just repairing the cylinders. The oil ring had disintegrated and they found metal in the engine. Now, he might be "overreacting", having never worked on Commanders or old engines before, or he might have a point. Nevertheless, regardless of which I'm in a bad pickle - aircraft stuck 1800 miles away from home on an executive field with mostly big jets and the parking pricing of Signature and Atlantic...
I have JimBob and Morris with the ear to the ground and trying to find a solution for me and I'm very grateful for that. But I thought I'd consult the board as well - does anyone know of any GO-435's in decent shape, or known to fly, with papers, or no papers, that could eventually be for sale anywhere reasonably? I need to resolve my situation and get her back home. I fear this could take months and months again if I don't act swiftly and the parking at $30/day will ruin me...
I'm very disheartened at the moment.
