At least as of the last time I checked, the lead time for a Titan engine was about 10 months. I’m not sure what the lead time is for Dynon or Garmin avionics, but I seem to recall about 5-6 months for Dynon. What’s the build phase that should trigger these orders (building a 9A)? Order when finishing the fuselage, part way through finishing kit, etc? I work at a moderate pace - took right at a year to mostly get the empennage and wings done (minus fiberglass work) and get started on the fuselage. The fuselage is going a bit slower just due to all of the back ordered parts forcing me to hop around.
Just trying to get a decent guess as to at what point I should think about ordering the big ticket items. I was thinking of ordering the engine around the same time as I start the finish kit? These long lead times add a little more complexity to planning compared to the days when you just needed a few months of foresight!
