1.  M14 ENGINES – We will be marketing used AJ or AI-14 260hp, (maybe 360hp too) 9 cylinder, radial engines with accessories, the air start system, and C/S prop, all, ideally for the Travel Air bi-plane.  We can’t say exactly what their prices may be until we have several on the floor.  We look to have hi-time, mid-time, and overhauled engines with accessories for $9,000, $12,000, and $19,000 respectively.  The pneumatics, mounting ring, and prop should run another $4,500.

We can do a top and bottom overhaul of these radials that are used on experimental airplanes for $7,500 plus parts and their 25% mark-up.  We would like to establish a Repair Station to also give you a certified major overhaul.

2.  CESSNA 172 V8 STC – QA is well along requesting an FAA STC Issue Letter making the GM LS3 430hp V8 installation in a Cessna 172I thru M.  After this retrofit is finished, the engine certified, and the inspections and sign-off completed, the kit will be available for installation by ourselves or approved service centers.  We expect to market the fly-away installation at $56,500 with the customer receiving everything firewall forward including the prop, spinner, and cowling for their own sale.  Low time engines can cut your cost substantially.

This installation will be complete thru the acceptance flight.  You will have a 172 that:
a)  is projected to cruise 145 to 150 mph on 6 to 7 gph of 87 octane auto fuel,
b)  will be quieter than most all general aviation planes, silent at 1000 ft,
c)  has STOL performance with 1100 – 1200 fpm climb,
d)  is instant starting and smooth running,
e)  has a 3-blade, ground adjustable prop that you adjust for your mission,
f)  has so much redundancy built in where the probability of an electronic forced landing is beyond a million hours,
g)  should have better TBO times with service and replacement costs being a token of typical charges,
h)  is eco-friendly, operating exactly as the auto, and approved for alternative fuels, and
i)  handles just like a 172 and is a pure joy to fly.

Stay tuned for progress reports.
