This thread could be started in many different forums here, including my own build updates, but I thought it might be best to post it under the banner of traditional aircraft engines. I recently completed a journey from MI to Tulsa, OK to witness the building and first run of my Superior IO-360 built by Allen Barrett of Barrett Precision Engines. The nine-day trip included a harrowing journey through terrible weather to Wichita; the subsequent journey to Tulsa; the assembly details of my engine over the course of 3-1/2 days (with a weekend break), and the journey home with the engine in the back of my truck. Although my coverage of the build is fairly comprehensive, this is not an instruction video on how to build an engine. It's more of a travelogue of my journey across the country and through the process of learning all I could about the building and care of my personal engine. It's about 45 minutes long (perfect chapter presentation length!); it's a compilation of real-time and time-lapse video, photos, voiceovers, sound effects and background music that was created, assembled and edited from many sources in many locations over many days. It's not without flaws, but the editing brings it all together and I'm proud enough of the result to share it here. So pick a good movie time, settle back and enjoy my journey. Here's a link:
