I purchased N8547K in August 2013. After a thorough annual it was running perfectly. Aftermaiden takeoff it began losing power and I had to make forced landing resulting damage which the insurance company deemed a total loss. The FAA investigation found that there was little or no compression in cylinders due to valves sticking open. Compressions during annual we're in upper 70's. |
