Aero Sport Power
Hi Gang,
I just had the great pleasure of meeting the crew over at AeroSport Power. Bart spent the better part of an hour answering questions and explaining a ton of things in detail I would understand.
I haven't got my tail kit yet but already I can't wait to call Sue or Nicky to order my engine.
Thanks for the time spent and tour of the shop!!

What engine are you buying - ECI or the Lycoming?

Ditto
Ditto my experience. I am buying a rebuilt IO-540 from them and went up there in November to visit and tour the facility. Bart spent about 2 hours with me explaining all kinds of stuff about engines, much of which I never realized was important. Great folks, stellar reputation, easy to deal with.

I've purchased four engines from Bart and Sue. They are my only engine source.

If you think buying from them is fun, wait til you fly one of their engines. Class A, and nothing less.
Bart & Sue are stellar aviation people. You made a solid choice for your build, IMHO.

One more very satisfied Aerosport Power customer. In fact, my shirts are nearly worn out after wearing them most of the time when I built Smokey.
Don't have enough thumbs-up to give them!

I get no response...
I hear all these good things about Aerosport Power, but every time I have emailed them to get any info for upgrading my engine I get no response.  I even called them, but they never got back to me.
Do they only deal with you if you buy an engine from them?

That?s no fun and I?m surprised, I did not buy an engine from them but rather did my own engine O/H using parts I bought from them. The experience was a thing of beauty, they answered the phone every time I called and there answer every time was ?yes we have what your asking for, we can ship it today? There where many calls and often I did not have part numbers only descriptions, they would ask some questions to determine what I had and sent the right parts every time.
After all the calls, homework and rounding up all the parts we built the engine in about 10 hours and from the start of assembly to the first flight was three days. The engine is coming up on 1000 hours now.
