Hey LML gang,
We’re
ready for an engine for our Legacy under construction and expect to leave Oshkosh with an order
placed. We want an IO-550 class engine since that’s a well worn path
in the Lancair community. We’d appreciate opinions and advice from
the community on engine choice, features (customizations), and providers.
The options we know of for consideration are:
From Continental
thru Lancair:
From custom build
shops with “blue printing”, flow balancing, and other special
features:
- BARRETT Performance
Aircraft, Inc. Custom re-manufactured
engine
- Performance Engines, Inc. Custom re-manufactured engine
Are there other
engine shops we should be considering? Suggestions on custom options,
spec’s? What kind of experiences have people had dealing with the
custom shops?
Thanks,
Valin &
Allyson Thorn
