I had not retired yet and owned my own business with machining and welding equip., the motor was new , cheap and smooth as compared to a Lycosauruse. My freind Neil Kruiswyk also had a 13B in his Lancair 235 I was impressed,
but I guess I really chose the engine because most people at the Brampton Flying Club said you had to be nuts to put any auto engine in a airplane and I'm just ornery enough to prove them wrong.
