The effort resulted in a beautiful cowl, a 2 way timed run at about 500' agl averaging about 235 mph (level about 1 mile before the speed trap) and a nice set of molds which he later sold. This is a fixed tricycle gear with a lot of aero mods like Klaus Savier wheel pants and gear leg fairings, plenum cooling and induction, some gap seals, etc... He has had this engine for at least 500 hours and so far there is no downside. We have flown many 3 hour + legs with them in our 180 hp Hartzel RV6 and they are taxiing away from the the gas pump before we land taking less gas too. Hope it works out the same way in the LNC2. Our hangermates always seem to enjoy our asking how much fuel they bought, just wait till our Legacy is flying.
