Hi,
I?ve been checking in on this forum for several years, finally getting close to pulling the trigger on an RV10 kit. (Wife approval + college costs declining = ready for takeoff)
In just gathering thoughts and ideas for my project I came across Aeromomentum Engines. They have a newish 260 hp engine. Wondering if any seasoned builders have looked at this and what your impression might be? I?ll admit I?m no expert but understand this is a 4 cylinder, water cooled, turbocharged, gear driven design which makes it fundamentally different than a tried and true Lycoming etc. How the heck are they offering it at +/- $20k when an IO540 is +/- $50k? Why should I be leary?
Here?s a link to what I saw
