Hi everyone. I was at the ECI booth yesteday at the Reno Air Races and talked with an unnamed source. I asked about the 390 engine and asked if they were going to visit an engine that size. They said that they were but in different ways that the other guys and they would not specify any details.
They further stated that they like the 360 and they are hoping that within the next year we can see some new engines. I told them that I was interested in about 220 HP and I was told to watch the horizon and that within a year I should be very satisfied with my options in the 360 engines.
Enough of that for now. As far as current items I have to give them major kudos for what they have done with the Lycosaur. They have modernized the engine and concentrated on the areas that have long been in need of attention.
I can see that I have no choice but to stick an ECI on the front of my 7A. I am still building wings with a fuse scheduled in Febuary or March so I have plenty of time.
