To: lml X-Mailer: CommuniGate Pro WebUser Interface v.4.1.5 Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2003 19:34:59 -0400 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format="flowed" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Posted for "glong2" : Dan: I ordered the fast build engine from Lancair. It saved a lot of work and looks very good. I had all the baffling powder coated in white. The only modification I needed during installation is that the rear baffle was about 1/4" too high for the cowl. I had to remove the rubber seals and cut the aluminum down the 1/4 inch. I will also probably fill some of the small gaps left around the cylinders before I fly. I have not flown yet but hope to soon! Eugene Long Lancair Super ES glong2@netzero.net >>>I'm about to order an IO-550N for my ES. I'm wondering whether people have found the engine fast-build option to be worth the extra amount charged beyond the various firewall forward kits (baffling, exhaust, hoses, etc.). Any comments appreciated.<<<
