Hi guys. Just following up here - based on some of the comments here and elsewhere, I do have it coming and will be listing it for sale.

@TCABM are you suggesting I post the core on there, or buy the new one and post that?

TSIO360 (Piper turbo arrow iv)

Hi all. Here comes a strange-to-me question. I needed an unobtanium crankshaft that we ordered through Continental/Boeing and the ship date continued to push. In the meantime I found a used/serviceable crank from an airparts supplier that didn't offer a core discount. Engine went back...

@RIlls thanks for the note and fantastic photos - that looks like exactly what we're looking for. I'll reach out to them now.

@Hengelo I'd have taken you up on this for sure, but it's looking like we'll be on the North island just Dec17-21 or so, then down to the South Island until home on 12/31. Thank you.

We're planning a vacation trip to New Zealand in two weeks, visiting both islands. Never been. My wife, myself (500hrs, IFR pilot), and our son (also 500hrs with his IFR) who will be turning 20 while we're there and is halfway through commercial in a 141 on his way to the airlines. Would be...

My accountants offered to fill it out while suggesting I do it myself and send them a screen shot of the final completion page. Encouraged me by saying that's what most of their other clients are doing. For me it ended up being about 10 minutes each and they wanted one per LLC. Not sure if I...

We didn't fly any GA in or around the big city, but there is a cool aviation museum at the Anchorage airport. Driving around Lake Hood is completely eye-opening. I had no idea. And as a midwesterner I just can't imagine that place in the summer. We also had fun at the Bushwheels and Alaska...

I rode back seat in the Tri-Pacer on skis :) At least a dozen rough lake landings, the slightest glimpse at Denali, and a super cool flight winding between canyon walls.

We also did a half day ski flying lesson at Alaska Floats and Skis in Talkeetna. Also highly recommend.

We were in Alaska on vacation in February of 23. My son with a fresh private cert checked out with a CFI at Blue River Aviation in Palmer to rent their 172s. I got to ride along on that check-out flight and then he flew his mother and I two more times while we were there. The most beautiful...

Blue River Aviation in Palmer, AK is likely exactly what you're looking for.

+1000 for POA.

Update - crankshaft (and all the related parts) in hand! Huge thanks to @Let'sgoflying! for his suggestion to connect with Jesse at Colorado Airparts. Now starts the rebuilding and hopefully back in the air before too much longer.

Thank you. Email sent and I'll call him in the morning. And yes "cam struck the case" is how it was described to me. The only thing a team of experienced mechanics way smarter than me could come up with is that possibly the case had been somehow loose and vibrating, and when it got torqued to...

It's a very well respected local mechanic who also happens to be a good friend of mine who will be doing the work. He's made lots of calls already with no luck. Until now I've stayed naively hopeful since we were always just "a month or two out" based on the ship dates. The 1 year anniversary...

Hello team POA. Frequent lurker here looking for any help or advice... The TLDR version is: I'm desparately looking for Continental crankshaft with model # 653129, for a Piper Turbo Arrow IV. Just under two years ago my wife and I purchased a 1982 Turbo Arrow IV with relatively low total...

And THIS, this is why I asked. Sounds genius.
