Hi Emir
I am most interested in your experience with swapping engines and performance of your 42 with the CD155.
Please let us know - thanks!
Under which STC is the installation made?

Re: Owners' maintenance experiences
It’s done under John Crosby’s STC. I expect some 10 kts increase in cruise performance e.g. 170+ kts TAS at FL160 at 80% load and I guess some 6.8 USG/h per engine. Of course I expect increase in climb performance, short field take off and OEI.
I’m at short vacation now the upgrade should be completed next weeks (we have some holidays in whole region) and I plan to pick up plane mid May. Then I’ll have exact numbers.
