[NSRCA-discussion] To YS or Not

[colin chariandy]

I'm losing sleep trying to determine whether to put a YS in the Integral I ordered or if I should stick to the OS140.
   
  The last time I ran YS was 8 years ago. I got frustrated with the various maintenance, gaskets, diaphrams, rings, bearings, falme outs and header failures that seemed to be a natural part of the YS experience. I switched to OS and never had a reliability problem again.
   
  However, I flew a 160 powered aircraft recently and imediately noticed the difference in speed control, torque etc that makes the YS the easier engine to fly the sequences.
   
  What's the typical maintenece on a modern YS?
   
  Flights per plug, flights between valve adjustment, pump adjustments/replacements, bearings, gaskets etc.
   
  And what's the cost of the 170?
   
  Any advice will be welcomed.
   
  Colin
