[Wing] Kit Lycoming

[Barry Tunzelmann]

I thought this subject would have raised a lot of messages in the wing but 
in the October Kitplane there is an article about the new kit engine O-360 
that they will sell to Joe Public - no experience necessary. The company is 
ECI and according to the article the complete Lycoming kit will sell for 
$14,700US minus carb and mags. That takes away the stranglehold that 
Superior/Mattituck had for the kit XP360 which was only a slightly better 
price than a new Lycoming through Vans. ECI website is www.ecitofly.com The 
engine has to be assembled and it cannot be installed in a certified plane 
- ok.
