New engine question

[Ernie Martin]

I have never looked at or know much about the Riley, so I don't have an opinion. Of the large-scale STCs for the Skymaster it seems to have been the most successful. Perhaps it's a question you should pose to others in this forum with Riley experience. If you get a large enough sample (say, 10?) and it's predominantly positive, then I would consider it. But make no mistake, for me it would always be second-fiddle to a well-maintained standard Skymaster, because for the flying I do (no mountains, short hops) a Riley would add little. For others a Riley may provide a significant benefit, and should be considered if owners with Riley experience are generally satisfied.
