Hi Bob!
Those 0540s sound interesting. Any chance of getting a copy of the list?
Is George Coy someone you know? Good guy to get an engine from? What kind
of prop? Any constant speeds? I thought 0540s were usually 250, 260, 300,
or even 350HP. Even a couple detuned ones below 250HP. Hadn't heard of a
290HP model, but there's a heck of a lot of different models out there. I'd
be looking for reasonably complete logbooks too (although it never ceases to
amaze me how supposedly well trained aviation mechanics seem to do such a
terrible job at logbook entries.) Any accessories come with them? Just
point me towards George Coy if these questions are better aimed there.
Thanks!
Mike Kimball

P.S. I'd still rather have an LS1 V8 if I could just find someone doing a
firewall forward package. I'm still scared of having to fabricate my own
engine mount, among other things.

Nice lot ! Is there some limitation on the time you can
spend over there and still keep citizenship ?? Or is it just that
the mortgage comes due soon... ;-)
They had a few empty tiedowns last time, but less each visit -
might have to take you up on the offer if we don't get back 'til
summer of '03 ....
35 x 50 sounds like lots of room - maybe 30 x 45 would do.
I guess there's some physical price break (number of full sheets of
plywood, or something ....)
I know you've already got the M-14P, but George Coy has
just sent me a list of (Yugoslavian ?) O-540's (290 hp.) that he has
for sale for $9,000 to $13,500 US, depending on hours - some are
zero time ! (He suggested he <might> throw in a prop for the first
couple of Canadian customers, as he has some being overhauled now
in Quebec ...) It might be good to start off with one at say, 700 hours,
and get the test flying done without worrying about engine break-in,
then balance, polish, and port it, like the Harmon Rocket builders
are doing (330 hp ++ ). After flying the 3500, <I> think this
would be a "Really Good Thing"(tm) !!!

Lot #31
If we don't repatriate next summer it'll be one heck of an expensive
camp site. You can use it for a free tie down next time through.
Speaking of Garages, what would a practical hanger/workshop size be for
the SR? I was thinking 35'x50'?
Thanks for the shipping tips.

Just visited Okotoks last week, on the way to Chilliwack with
the SR-3500 !! It's really moving ahead, with 2 houses now well
along - one with 5 garages !!! (or 3 cars and an airplane ...) ;-)
(What lot number are you ??) It has always been one of our
favourite stops - Anna had her first lesson there, 'way back in
the late 70's ....
