I've now reached the point where most of the fuel system components

have

been mounted & are ready for final plumbing.  I'm now looking where to
install (mount) the spark igniters. 

Has anybody looked into coil on plug thingies from ford/chevy?

Power Sport does something like that.

Mark,
I went down that road initially and then decided to do it differently.
The real PITA comes in changing plugs.  As you know, it is very easy to
foul one or more plugs during starting.  The coil-on-plug method made it
very time consuming to remove and replace (or clean) the plugs.  I
relocated the coils and haven't regretted it.  For some reason, it even
idles better now.  Go figure.

Mark sounds like the engine is running. How far away are you from
flying?
Got any more recent pictures of you engine installation?

Paul,
After five years in my garage, I finally took my baby to the Lockhart,
TX airport last weekend.  It was an uneventful trip.  The engine runs,
although I haven't done any runs with the prop installed.  Currently the
EC-2 and EM-2 are at Tracy's for upgrades.  I hope to have the prop
installed by the time they get back and then I can do some tuning.
There is still a lot to do, but I hoping to do first flight next Spring
or Summer.

Looking good Mark. That is a 3 rotor Lancair ES right.
Congradulations. Getting closer.

Yes, it's a 3-rotor Lancair ES.  Same as Tom Parkes' airplane, but sans
turbo.
