It's really starting to look like a Falco now!  We're currently working on the cowling (along with 10-million other things).

 

 

We're hoping to move it to the airport sometime next year.

 

 

The engine is an XTREEM 360 built by Eagle Engines in Redding CA to Falco specs (IO-360-B1E).  They build up the Superior engine with several enhancements -- specifically: dynamically balanced VAR steel crankshaft, balanced connecting rod/piston assy's, cylinder flow matching, parkerluberizing of camshaft and gears, and custom paint.  On our engine they swapped out the Superior sump for a Lycoming OHC "out the back" sump with weld bosses installed for the inverted oil system at no charge.  Options include the new Sky-tec hi-torque inline starter, a B&C 60 amp alternator, B&C 8 amp alternator and inverted oil pickup adapter on the vac pump pad, and LASAR ignition system.  Other options are available and we've been extremely pleased thus far.  If anybody is interested, they can contact Bob Honig (general manager) at 800-292-7767, sales@eagleengines.com , or their website: www.eagleengines.com.  (And, for the record, I don't receive any kickbacks for the endorsement.)

I was up in Minnesota for a few days again after Thanksgiving.  Made good progress fitting the cowling and making the windshield fairing.  Still hoping to move it to the airport this summer.  Happy Holidays!
