Yes it is way too early for me to be worried about engine options.
But I am working on my long term financial plan for attempting to build this 10.
That being said the engine is a major portion of cost associated with this whole thing.
I just got a quote from a well known engine builder and almost fainted.
Tried getting a quote from another very well known engine builder and so far I have received no response. (Waiting 2 weeks)
The way I see it I have a few options:
* New Lycoming from Vans
* New Lycoming or Titan from an engine builder
* Luck up and find a runable mid time engine
* Take a gamble and find and overhaul a first run engine
* other???
Seems Vans new price along with the $1000 off prop combo deal is hard to beat?
What did everyone else do?
These things get more expensive every year so waiting forever may not be a good idea....
