The 'Red' Barron...
Speaking of Barron Thomas (is that for real, anyway.. I mean the 'Barron' bit!?), has anyone checked out the 1978 P337 he also has advertised on Controller and Trade-A-Plane? Not a bad price for the...

Larry,
Are you aware of the latest jury settlement against Lycoming (and next will be TCM!) concerning the VAR cranks... and I dare say, falsification of data? These are NOT what they're 'CRACKED'...

I'm curious where you've obtained your 1500 hour statistical criteria, that failure rates start becoming frequent within and beyond this time frame.
