Prop for ECI IOX-340 Stroker

[Radomir]

Rick, that's slow I got my ECI kit in one week.. sounds like they're taking 5 to build it hehe..

On a more serious note, shedding pounds off of -7A's nose isn't really the best place to save weight. If you can loose some in the tail area, that's be a lot more useful, even if total weight loss isn't as much.

AAE said it would be 1-2 weeks for the parts from ECI and 1-2 weeks to put it together depending on their work load at the time. Then it needs to ship from Tulsa to the Bay Area so another week or so.

I'm shocked by this because when I talked to Superior their quoted lead time was about 12 weeks. Considering that it took 8 weeks to get an AP from Trutrak and Eggenfellner's next batch of Subies are available for August next year .... 12 weeks seemed pretty good to me.

Btw, you guys are doing a good job of making me think more about the ECI 340 vs. their 360. If the weights are nearly identical and the power is about the same then one would probably be better off with the 360 because then you're not strapped to a single source for parts (crank).

I do know that since I live on the coast I definitely want ECI's cylinders because of corrosion resistance. (now that I've said that someone will tell me that ECI's rust worse than any others out there!!)

Rick:
I am only an A&P and DAR. From what I know, the NEW ECI cylinders are the best rust resistance cylinders you can buy at this time.
