Hey everyone, I’m just dipping my toes into the process and the unbelievable amount of options out there. So here’s the question(s). The platform will be a 7.
The two engines I will be considering will be the Lycoming IO 360 from vans (may or may not thunderbolt) and the Continental Titan IO 340/360.
Please if you have time, dump your thoughts and any info you have on here. I searched and have found nothing recent.
•Reliability between the two?
•Price differences? (Actual values if you have them)
• Maintenance issues and or AD’s?
•FwF options (such as the one vans has for the ly coming they sell, will it work?)
• Propeller choices(I really want the ground adjustable composite)
•Weight issues? (CG issues if choosing the IO340?)
•Technical support and ease of getting in contact with company.
•Lastly, your gut choices
If you have anything else you want to add or direct me in a direction, shoot. I’m a sponge right now and this will be the biggest expense of the build, so I’d like to chew on every last option and detail. Thank you all so, so much and I can’t wait to read the hopefully several pages of responses....
