I swear I read a thread on this a while ago, but I' can't find it, and I don't know if things have changed, so I thought I'd ask again...
I'm starting to think about ordering my Finish Kit and possibly my FWF kit.
I am most likely going to go with the Vans XIO-320 and a constant speed prop.
I won't need the kits for about 5-6 months, but I will likely order if/when Vans announces a price increase so I can save a few bucks. I might also order the engine/prop if they offer a Sun n Fun deal again.
So my questions are:
1 - Should I get the Vans FWF kit? Why/Why not?
2 - What should I delete/add/substitute out of the finish kit?
3 - It "seems" like getting the Lycoming engine from Vans, and getting the Vans FWF kit makes the simplest install, any thoughts on that?
I'm a bit nervous about the entire engine thing, and anything I can do to make that easier sounds appealing.
Thanks,
-Dan
