We took a brief hiatus from priming/painting for a few weeks due to vacation and other priorities, but one thing that we did do was order the engine from Lockwood Aviation. The engine we are going with is the Rotax 912is, which puts out 100HP and is fuel injected. We also ordered a few accessories after some consultation with Just Aircraft, such as the radiator, the larger oil cooler, the ring mount, and stainless exhaust. Most parts were in stock, except for a few installation bolts and the ring mount.
We received the engine crate less than a week after they received payment, which was impressive. There was one minor hiccup (which Lockwood thankfully informed us about shortly after it was shipped), as the crate was missing the fuel pump assembly, and the oil tank had metric threads. They shipped out the fuel pumps and the oil pump with standard threads right away, and we returned the other oil tank (they covered shipping). Hours: 2.0
