I've had the Air Plains O-360 conversion in my 172N for 16 years
(3500 hours now). I'm an A&P and IA. The Air Plains documentation
is much better, the installation is easier, and the product support is
great. It makes a poor man's 182 out of a 172, No complaints. Penn
Yan is right in my back yard, but I do not regret getting my STC from
the Kansas facility.
