Oshkosh and engine / propeller order

We had a great trip to Oshkosh and saw a huge number of beautiful RV's and other airplanes.

I visited the Vans and Lycoming displays. I have gone ahead and pulled the trigger on my engine and propeller order.

The order will be processed this week and the engine and prop should arrive here in about 12 weeks.

The engine is a Lycoming IO-360 and the prop is a Hartzell constant speed blended airfoil.

The engine is fuel injected and will produce 180hp. The prop is 72" long and improves on climb rate, cruise speed and noise levels compared with a fixed pitch propeller.
