I just asked exactly this question to Vans last Friday. As I am going the EAB way, I thought I might even find a used engine. So far no answer yet. I found however someone, who went this way and disencouraged me, saying he likely wouldn’t do it again.Hello,
I have bought all but the powerplant for the -12.
Now, I would like to get the powerplant from a independent dealer.
But... I would need all the "kit" to fit it to the a/c
Does anyone know if this set could be purchased from VANS?
Thanks !
Depends on your level of experience, comfort and confidence that you could obtain and integrate the parts, wiring and software setups on your own. The Vans engine and FWF kit are "plug and play" for the most part with all harnesses built and connectors installed. Some items may be long lead right now, but there are other things you can be doing/planning (you didn't mention how far along your are in assembling your kit). Also as you may already know, your Phase I fly off will be around 40 hrs for EAB (non-Vans parts) vs. 5 hours for ELSA (all Vans parts). Good luck either way!Hello,
