Thank you Mike for the informational posts. My misinformation came from
circa 1994 Lancair marketing information on the 550 where the word
"Certified" was conspicusiously abscent. Once I made my engine decision I
didn't pay much attention after that. I do have some questions and as a
former Continental employee, you may have the answers. Why was the 550
developed? Was there a specific customer? Who? What aircraft besides the IV
use the TSIO variant?

Mike also brings up the very valid point that many engine problems are due
to improper operation. Yes I said it, it is the pilots fault (GASP........).
Bring on the electronic controlls!

Brent
