Overhauled engine of the Connie ordered in the USA |
|
Contrary to our first assumptions specific investigations have revealed that the engine No 2 suffered significant damage after only few hours of running. It must be replaced due to two damaged rods. This leads to another delay of our flight program. The committee of the SCFA decided on June 20, 2012 to order an overhauled replacement engine from Anderson Aeromotive Inc., a US company specialized on airplane piston engines. It will be prepared in the US and then sent to Lahr for mounting – our Connie is currently positioned there.
Based on the preparation, delivery and mounting time we expect to start to fly in August. In order to catch up with some of the cancelled flights we plan to extend our flight season into October.
