In this instance whilst Lycoming U.S set the initial price all purchase & supply is done through one of their local agents, and warranty is covered by them. Only difficulty I'm having is getting the local guys to honour the deal, so lloks like I'll be back to calling Lyc US to see if the comms issue can be untangled. Right now I'm looking at a $5,000+ price difference, and as you might expect, a falling dollar adding at least another $1000 in the past couple of days. Maybe it was just too good to be true and I'll press on with the old donk on condition
