Default Grinning Again

Well, after removing my engine in January in compliance withe the XP-400 Recall/Buy-Back I have finally received my replacement engine. I went with an IO-390-X built by Barrett using my Superior case and sump. First flight on the new powerplant was 12/07. Flawless. It has been a long wait but I got the grin back!

Default Great news!

Glad to hear you are back flying that beautiful airplane.

You should stop by Newnan (CCO) and check out SAS.

BTW, that doesn't look like Hawaii

Default Nice!

Glad to hear you got your mojo (grin) back
I just wanted to make a comment about the grass and where you are based? The Picture doesn't look like Hawaii but the grass is too green for this time of year! I think the setting certainly adds to the beauty.

Default Not Hawaii

The airplane is currently in central Florida. It was built at Synergy Air in OR and I have no plans to have it in Hawaii.
