    Hi Rob:
    You just mentioned on a thread about picking up your engine in Oregon after about a year.
    I'm guessing you had it overhauled at Premier in Troutdale?
    Curious as to the turnaround time, and as to your satisfaction with them.
    Thanks,
    ~Eric Taylor aka hotrod180

    OregonMaule Hello Eric. Long time no talk. I hope you are well.

    As for Premier Aircraft Engines. Yes they did it. They build a beautiful engine. That part I like. Jim estimated 6-9 months. Turned out to be 12 months. That part I don't like. I am a believer in better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. I thought briefly about sending it to Lycon for 300HP. In the end I like being able to use mogas.

    If you are getting close to needing an overhaul. Start buying your parts now!!!!!!

    I would use PAE again.

    What's new with you?

    I'm a grandpa now. Snowbird in Arizona now. Just did year 4.

    Cheers...Rob

    Hey Eric, I hope you have been well! What have you been doing?

    Yes I still have my places in Troutdale, Madras and Pacific City. We just had enough of months of gray mist and drizzly. After 60 Oregon winters, I got the winter sports out of my system. Cheers Rob

    I have been wintering in Arizona for the warm weather and great flying. Good buddies. I bought a home and a hangar. I also like the gun laws, SXS on streets. Just went to a great fly in. It is like the ones we had in the 2007-2011. I hope it doesn't turn into another mega event. 2 mega events are enough. IMO
    Cheers

    Is it bad to leave the engine heater on for 5-10 days between flights? Would this procedure cause more condensation than leaving the engine cold then heating over night before the flight? I use a Aerotherm...
