Austro/engine specific forums?

Post by neema »

Anyone else think there may be value in a engine specific forums? I bring up Austro because it's in the 40NG, 42NG, and 62s.

Some good info to share and sticky would be part numbers and places to buy oil/fuel/air filters, engine operating practices, maintenance experiences and expenses.


Or maybe there are common/linked stickies in each airframe subforum?

I think it's a good idea and ask the administrators to create a forum for the Austro engines. The aircraft referenced all share those engines and the engines are more similar than different.

I think a bunch of threads could even be moved over.

I've added three engine-specific forums and moved a topic or two into each of them. It'll take approximately forever to go through the old topics to find ones that should be moved into the new categories, but if you want specific topics moved, send me a PM with the info.
