Anyone see this:

Looks like ECI and AERO have parted company in a bad way......

WOW, the experimental Lyclone supply sure is shrinking!!!

Thanks Gary, I missed that when it came around...

I sure hope ECI can recover from all of this. Lycoming needs the competition. Sure hope Superior comes back around either as a new company or ????
