Engine & Prop

Lycoming IO-390-X

Lycoming IO-390-X series engines are 390 cubic inch, fuel-injected, 4-cylinder direct drive engines that produce 210 horsepower at 2,700 RPM. The IO-390-X is one of Lycoming's "Specialty" engines, and is designed to meet the power, payload, and speed requirements of the fast-growing kit aircraft segment. All this power and innovation is offered with the advantage of low fuel consumption, only 11.1 gallons per hour at 65 per cent power.


The propeller  will be a Hartzell blended airfoil 74" controllable pitch prop.  This combination should be good for about 130 knots cruise.
