At least it's not being held up waiting on a 6-cyl P-mag :p

Depends on the wording of your 2004 contract. And how badly they want one on a customer airplane.

Next year's price? Not a chance.

What I don't understand about these new engine manufacturers is that you would think they should focus on getting their engines flying and building a reputation.

To do that, they should sell the first bunch at a price that undercuts their competition (Lycoming, in our case) until they have a known service history.

Anyone who pays more than the price of a comparable Lycoming engine on an unproven design that will take a lot of custom work to install isn't thinking right, IMHO.

Heck, my first engine was an O-290d2 and while an approved engine for the -9, it was not supported and I had to craft a number of custom parts and modify others. All of which added time.
