Of course, I want it to be a nice powerplant, but I also want to keep the price reasonable. Do you have any references for good builders for this sort of engine, and what prices have people seen? Thanks!

Jeff, I pulled this quote from your previous thread. I've used both CCC and Danbury -- they're top notch. First off, those three kids are going to be absolutely no help whatsoever with your build; in fact, they're going to be a hindrance -- so consider having ERA do as much as possible. "Keeping the price reasonable" is pretty subjective, but CCC & Danbury alone will put you well in to the 20's (and that's before you even spend a dime with ERA). There's no rush deciding on either CCC or Danbury, since the wait for ERA will be several months at the very minimum. Have you sent Peter a check yet to put your name in the queue? |
