Paul and others - has Powersports gone under? Can't seem to get a

web page

and do not see any ads in magazines lately.

snips...

 Hello Vance, and others on the list,

Powersport Aviation is most definitely alive and well!  We had a

successful

show at the Minnesota Wing RV Forum this past weekend, and are now

battling

poor weather again. Our RV-6A has been updated, 8 engines have

shipped, and

3 additional engine orders have been received.  We were disappointed

to miss

all those who attended Sun-N-Fun, but look forward to seeing people at

Air

venture this summer.

We have in the past had trouble with our ISP, but not recently as far

as we

know.  The web site address remains the same and has been recently

updated

with content, pictures, and a video which looks and sounds great, but

does

not work on all systems.  We can be reached at

www.powersportaviation.com ,

or I may be contacted directly at the numbers below.

It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion over the
pricing of our 215Hp engine, and complete installation packages.  This
misunderstanding may have come from the way component prices are

listed on

the web site, as some components are not available individually.  The

215HP

engine with reduction drive sells for $22,500, and includes the

starter,

alternator and complete electrical harness featuring dual FADEC ECU's.

All

engines are run in and have performance verified before shipping. The

FWF

installation packages take the engineering and trial and error out of
mounting the engine and include: engine mount frame, Aluminum engine

mounts,

Certified Barry Controls vibration isolators, oil and water coolers,

exhaust

system, and custom cowling. The installation packages vary slightly in

cost

between airframes, but average $6,000.00

Keith are you saying that the engine assembly costs $22, 500.00 and an

additional

$6, 000.00 for the installation kit? That gives you a total price of $28,

500.00.

Add a prop and you would be approaching $30,000.00.
Does this engine have aluminum side housings, and pulleys?

Hi Royce,

        The RE-215 Hp engine with reduction does cost $22,500.  Complete
integration packages average $6,000 and are available for RV-6/6A, 7/7A,
8/8A, 9/9A.  Individual components are also available to speed the
integration of other airframes such as Velocity, Cozy, EZ, Lancair ect.

         The RE 215 is assemble from modified NEW Mazda housings, which are cast
iron. The aluminum pulleys are optimized for coolant flow and alternator
charge, and run a poly-V belt. The engine weighs 210 pounds wet (oil and
water), 265 with reduction drive, and 326 pounds Firewall Forward, less prop
and cowl.

  Hope that this helps.
Best Always,

Keith Holm
