Deciding between a Cheyenne or an MU-2 for some heavier lifting needs
One MU-2 airframe we are seriously considering will need a HSI and GBI on a -1 engine in next 20 hours ..
Any recommendations on shops ? Preferably somewhere between Texas , OK , and TN?
Does anyone know what to budget for a GBI?

As you are probably aware, MU2s are pretty much all that they work on. https://www.ijetservice.comThat’s what I’d do too... they are both the Mitsubishi service center as well as a Honeywell service center. One stop shop, airframe plus engines.

I’d agree as well. They maintained my MU-2 for previous owner. They are very good.

OK, I recognize EAM. I guess the engine people have remained the same.
It is amazing how often company names get changed around in the aviation business.

I previously worked for a large 135 operator that was very happy with them. I personally worked with them after a lightning strike inspection on a 441 I managed earlier this year and they were exceptional. I've been through a one or two day class they custom made for our pilots (at the previous 135 operator) and it was great also. Jason

Does anyone know what to budget for a GBI? I just had both engines go through HSI/GB. I am privy to the cost since I am on a program. My recommendation is to nail down parts and schedule before hand as best as you can. These events can drag out to no end.

Mike C. Torque Sensor 3101726-1 No good anymore is my understanding and would need replaced. Torque Sensor 3101726-2 Not sure on this, but it wasn't supposed to be any better functionally. Torque Sensor 3101726-3 The currently favored part they will have to install. I think they are about $15k to $25k depending on pedigree the last time I checked.
