Gentlemen,



did anybody ever thought about putting

a M-462RF engine with a V-520

propeller on a CJ? Those engines and

propellers are certified in quite some

countries and all bulletins and ADs are

posted on the internet.



As far as I have learned, those engines

are still available directly from the

factory in the Czech Republic.

Your opinions and thoughts are highly appreciated.



Thank you in advance.



Regards

Elmar,

I have been working with the folks in the Czech Republic for a year now

about this matter.  We have discussed many options trying to get the price

down to a point where it would make sense to use this engine.  Unfortunately

the FOB (at their port)  price is over 20K for a fully overhauled engine, so

the question must be asked, why not just buy a M14B or P?  In my opinion the

FOB (in the US) price would have to be somewhere close to 15K before it

would make sense.



I do have a V520 propeller coming for a M462RF engine which I have here at

Omak.  I am anxious to see how the CJ will perform with that conversion, but

don't hold much hope that this conversion will ever replace the 285 because

of the cost.  At this time the M14B and M14P seem to give the buyer the most

"bang for the buck" cost vs. horsepower wise.  I personally like the B

better than the P because it's TBO is 1000 hours compared the P's 500 hours.

Yes the P is a bit more powerful than the B, but for the average guy's use I

seriously doubt you'd notice the difference if both engines were ran at the

same RPM.



Always Yakin,

Doug Sapp

 Thanks, Doug. As usually concise and to the point. ...Blitz  [quote][b]
