I purchased an AEIO-540 D4A5 from a gentleman in Australia, it was his spare engine for his airshow Pitts. Since he moved on to a mono wing Edge he didn't need the spare engine so we made a deal. Having gone through some lessons in importing ac parts, I had to hire a customs broker, and deal with a myriad of fees that seem nonsensical. I will be picking up the engine at the warehouse and I will deliver it for final assembly at Aerodyne.
My goal is to put a certified aerobatic engine on the Skybolt. I just had the Mags overhauled at Aircraft Magneto Service in Montana, great outfit, I have a set ready with its shower of sparks ignition, recommended by Lycoming.
I'll try to post pics of the progress on the Skybolt.
Here is the old engine, an old IO-540
And here she sits waiting for her new engine
