Like everyone with mail service we get junk mail. I just got a flyer from RAM Aircraft. They have a engine replacement special. For ONLY $33,300 and the exchange of our old engine we can have a overhauled 1700 hour TBO engine. So if we could get the engine installed for free the engine alone costs $19.60 per hour to use. Obviously it is not cheap to install the engine and feed it oil & gas.
And some people think Porsches are expensive!
Oh they have the "hot rod" upgrade also. Instead of just 300 HP it has whopping 310 HP! And it comes with a new three blade prop and the STC (FAA required to modify anything) for only $59,379!
