Hi everyone.
I'm looking for an engine: IO-360 clone, 190 to 200HP for my RV-7...
I have quotes from Aerosport Power, Titan and Superior.
The most interesting (cheaper) is from Titan for the IOX-370 with 8.3:1 compression cylinders.
I don't know much about Titan, made a search on these forums and couldn't find much about them (I guess if there are no negative comments it's a good thing).
But I read that they have been bought by Continental which is now in Chinese hands.
questions:
- for those who are flying with a Titan engine, what is your experience with them (customer support, quality of engine, etc?)
- being under the Continental brand what is the risk of Continental deciding to stop producing Lycoming clones, therefore Titan engine, to reduce the competition to their own engines? Would that be a "risk" for future support and parts availability?
- How does Titan compare to Aerosport and Superior??
- what other engine maker would you recommend with good quality for price?
Thank you
Alain.
