Maybe I'm being a bit to optimistic given the current status of engine orders, but.......
I live within driving distance of Lycoming in PA and was toying with the idea of picking my engine up vs. getting it delivered. (No I don't have a date yet.) I'm told that I will save on sales tax since PA doesn't charge sales tax but NJ does. I believe I will have to pay sales tax eventually but that's another story.
Has anyone else picked up their engine from Lycoming in PA? Does anyone know the crate dimensions and weight? I want to make sure I have a truck large enough. Will the kind folks at Lycoming load it into a truck for you via forklift, etc?
Plus I'm told they'll give you a tour of the plant if you arrange it ahead of time.
