Aero-TV: The Littlest Lycoming -- Lyc's Light-weight 233 Hits the LSA Market

BIG Things Do Come In Small Powerplants!!!

It takes serious talent to produce a dependable powerplant... especially when dealing with tight constraints. And building a solid contender for the front end of many of the latest LSAs is a tough gig... requiring one to not only develop a small and powerful package... but a light one, to boot.
