If I could find a 540 of some kind that contained the "Bad" (per AD) non-VAR crank---- would I be allowed to use it in an uncertified homebuilt ?
I have read that the new VAR cranks have a higher failure rate than the old one that it replaces. Many seem to believe that this AD was pushed through by Lycoming as a liability CYA and
they really didn't care if it REALLY solved the problem or not----
Any thoughts ? Experiences ?
