References: From: "John Schroeder" Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-15 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Original-Message-ID: In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Opera M2/7.52 (Win32, build 3834) 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.
