Another aspect is that one mile of road will take you exactly one mile. One mile of runway on the other hand can take you much farther. A small GA aircraft has a recommended time between overhauls of about 2000 hours. If the engine is still making power and passes annual inspections and the aircraft is not used for commercial purposes the overhaul is not necessary. for the 150-200 hp engines overhaul is more on the lines of 10-30000$ Many older, low hp engines run very well on auto gas.

One mile of road will take you one mile, one mile of runway can take you around the world. Last edited by bestclimb; 03-02-2010 at 02:53 PM..
