Then I'd have to do the aircraftconversion.I never went beyond that point with the "A" since I decided to go the"non-A" route with my aircraft. However I did begin to suspect thateven in 1998, and Model A engine might be one of the best bargainsaround in aircraft engines!Dick Winkel________________________________________________________________________________
