 Your reference to "certified" engines hits a particular sore spot with me in
 regards to your Turbine engines.  Lancair's sells their Walter 601EX as a
 601E from the "Walter factory" as Factory new and Certified.  That fact of
 the matter is that this engine is an "experimental" engine that has been
 changed from the original 601E.  No mention of this fact has ever been
 portrayed from Lancair.  I would suggest full disclosure on Lancair's part
 to it's customers is a better and less legally contigous route to follow.  I
 would ask what kind of testing data is available from Walter on the 601EX in
 regards to reliability and TBO?
 
 I would also suggest that an email forum is not a place to be hashing out
 differences between individuals and companies.  It is far too easy to type
 something into an email that would never be attempted to be said face to
 face. Just my opinion.
