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
