Hey Richard,

I sent you an email, I am interested in that particular combination and if the current owner and I can work the deal out, I definitely want to hear more about them!

Bruce, Yep, the gut part is why I'm asking the experts. I (my gut) think it'll be fine but then again, I'm a 150/7ECA/Stearman guy and have no idea about the O-300 and 170!
