The single biggest cause of engine failure is me Grin

Tell an aeroplane that uncle Ozzy is going to fly it, and it'll drop its valves, its camshafts will curl and oil will come gushing out of the sump at great speed Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Paul. I'm not sure that Rolls-Royce Continental engines are fitted to Cessnas or other US-built aircraft. Rolls-Royce reluctantly built these engines under licence so they could be fitted in British-built aircraft for use with the RAF, specifically the Beagle Basset & Bulldog. They're likely to be more expensive than the original US-manufactured examples.

Hi Doug...
I mentioned this because the little Cessna 150 trainers here have a Rolls Royce badge on the side of the engine cowling, and the pilots of them indicated their like of the Continental engines fitted inside.. 8)...!
The similar Cessna !52's and the larger aircraft are fitted with Avco/Textron Lycoming engines.

Cheers Doug...!

Paul.

P.S. The 150's are getting rather rare now as their time runs out... Cry

OK. I stand corrected. Embarrassed

That's unless someone pinched some RR badges & stuck them on those little Cessnas for a joke. Tongue

PS. You are quite correct. They were fitted on the Rheims Cessnas. I should have guessed. Sorry. Sad

PPS. This shows how much I know about Cessnas. Not a lot.

I find that on CFS 2 my engine seems to go down a lot because i slam my prop against the ground. this is just me being a complete low-flying freak, and i usually do this in a B-36 loaded with 2000lb bombs (no, i dont have a death wish, i'm just crazy! Wink
