Well gang, I sold my 320/360 project, clearing the way for a L2K purchase. I am now #32 with an estimated October delivery position.  Their target is
Sun & Fun for the first kit delivery.

I asked Orin for an update on the test series.  They are still waiting for
the final results on the flutter model, but have had the prototype up to
"about 220 mph indicated so far".  Carsten designed for VNE of 255 mph.
 
The original plan was to replace the turbo normalized I0 360 with a O 540
when flight tests were complete.  They now have a Cont. IO 55O and a 72" MT
on order for it.  I am amazed the wt & bal will pencil out, the performance
should be interesting. (You IV and ES guys running the non-turbo 550s, how
are they working out?)    Steve Colwell
