I have built a Lancair IV that now has been upgraded to a Walther 601 and
I
have the only Customer flying Legacy. I personally know Three people that
have
Enginear power plants...<<
I haven't had too much experience with these people, but at one time was
negotiating with them (him) to apply my electronic Engine Management System
to the engine. His expectations for features and price were unrealistic in
view of my reliability standards so the deal never worked. I have looked
closely at one of the installations, especially the fuel system and came to
the same conclusions. In short I don't doubt your observations. When your
aspirations push over the 400 hp threshold I believe you made the right
choice - a turbine engine gets the job done better. I am looking for
300-325 hp and for that a direct drive auto engine can be made at the right
weight while keeping the reliability.
