The RV-1 has a fresh engine from Aero Sport Power!!
Photos available next week in a separate thread

Paul Dye (Ironflight) recently shared his thoughts about “Saying Thanks to Van” – Bart LaLonde and Sue Gregor at Aero Sport Power exceeded all expectations in this regard, and their generosity deserves special recognition. Aero Sport Power was among the first vendors to respond when the RV-1 project was announced. Bart and Sue generously donated their company’s services and provided a complete tear-down inspection of the original engine, tested, machined, and replaced parts as needed, assembled the engine and verified operation on a test cell, and paid freight both ways. Their generous gift, easily valued in five figures, was pivotal in getting the RV-1 ready for the 2012 fly-in season!
In the spirit of community appreciation for Bart and Sue’s gift to the RV-1 project, take a moment and let them hear from you.
I'll start the ball rolling... Bart and Sue, you're the best! As the RV-1 begins its Summer Tour and journey to the EAA Museum at AirVenture 2012, it's comforting to know that Van and his relief pilots will be flying the RV-1 behind the most reliable engine human hands can produce.
