I'm looking at an O-470R powered Skybolt with a constant speed prop, pressure carb and inverted oil (30sec), 800 SMOH. Bird was built in '84, recovered in '08. What's the consensus on this airframe/engine combo? I'm a bit concerned about the empty weight (don't know that number yet). I live in the mountains (field elevation 6550'), so I could use a little extra power...
