Hi all,

I'm starting my Legacy in September as it now stands (I've wanted to do
this for SSSOOOO long!)  and I have a few couple of questions.

1. Performance Engines.
Who has a Continental Engine (IO-550 or something close) build by PE
that
has over 1000 hours on it?  How is it doing?  I spoke with an A&P that
said
if you get a Continental I'm going to be replacing the cylinders at 600
hours.  I wanted to see how the mods Performance Engines are doing are
holding up and how well they are affecting engine life.

2. All Carbon Legacy
Lancair has a Reno Racer kit that came available and was wondering if
anyone knew how the all carbon kit would affect its useful load of the
aircraft.  I figure there has to be some extra strength there, but
couldn't get any information on a ball park as to how much.

Thanks for your help

Kevin
