Three data points: (1) Velocity is swapping out their FADEC IOF-550 for a plain vanilla IO-550N. (2) Express Aircraft closed its doors, according to their website, because TCM had promised for over 2 years to deliver several IOF-550's to them for their customers. The last estimate for release was changed from September 04 to early 2005.
(3) Jon Gosselin in New Hampshire has one installed in a Lancair ES. He was getting close to flying this past spring, but I do not know the status. He had a very frustrating time getting the engine installed.
Cheers,
John
I am aware of five Fadec installation on Lancairs.

4) My IV-P with an Aerocomposites prop. It is planned for flight testing next month. There continues to be a problem with rough idling on TSIOF 550's with low inertia props. This has yet to be resolved.
