I visited with the fellow who was building a 20B Lancair kit at Hicks (T67) near Ft. Worth/Dallas. He was looking for help on his 20B installation and did indeed have a LOT of Mistral pieces on it (even the psru!)…I was amazed he got them. I believe he worked for a local aircraft engineering firm (Bell? Or?) in the area……that was maybe 2-3 years ago……would he be chance on this site?

Mark: This Lancair has been for sale this year without the engine for 70K. I called on a similar add on Barnstormers and was told the engine had been removed and the engine had been sold. The guy I talked to on the phone said they could not keep the engine cool enough to fly it. So they gave up and he told me they had a Continental sourced that could be bought with the airframe. I was interested in buying the engine as it looks like it has the Mistral intake. I liked the intercooler as well. Although it looks like it is in a Bad spot to get heat soaked.

Anyone know whose project this is. Looks like it could be a good buy for someone.
