Purchasing(and insuring) a low-hour mid-90's engine/aircraft
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 6:17 am
I'm considering the purchase of a low-hour kit plane. The kit was made in about 1994, but not completed until 2008. The Rotax engine has just a few hundred hours on it, but is past its 15-year TBO. The engine is running well and there is no reason to think the lengthy storage was harmful.
Question: does running an engine past its TBO time (but well below its original hourly threshold) screw up insurance coverage??
Thanks
