It's here, it's here! It's finally here! Yea!
Ok it's just a box. The most expensive box I've ever purchased, but yes, it is just a box. Until you open it of course.
Now the particulars:
Brand: ECI
Model: TITAN IOX370, horizontally opposed, fuel injected, air-cooled.
Cylinders: 4
Ignition: Electronic, Dual independent P-Mag
Induction: Normally aspirated
HP: 205
Horsepower-wise the IOX370 is very similar to a modern air cooled automobile engine like that in a Porsche 911 for example. A normally aspirated, air-cooled 911 made about 315 HP in 6 cylinders. Take 4 of those and you get about 210 HP at the crank. The main difference being that the IOX370 is designed to produce its rated power continuously for its 2000 hour lifetime. This is certainly not recommended for the Porsche owner.
And so it sits waiting on me to finish the fuselage.
