You Can Build As Much, or as Little, As You
Like, Under Four New Programs
Superior, Inc. has several useful and exciting engine assembly
options available at their new state-of-the-art engine Build Center
located in Coppell (TX). Tim Archer, Senior Vice President noted,
"The new Build Center captures the enthusiasm of sport aviation by
offering experimental engine owners a whole new experience in
engine ownership."
Superior's Build Center gives customers four assembly options
when purchasing an engine designed for the sport aviation
market.
-
Option one, or the
standard option package, is an XP-360 Engine that is fully
assembled and tested at Superior's Build Center, and then shipped
to the owner's location of choice for installation.
- Option two is for the engine owner who wants to know more about
basic engine operation and how their engine is assembled. Owners
selecting option two will visit the Build Center and receive a
short training course on basic operation and actually view their
XP-360 Engine's being assembled and tested.
- Option three is for the owner who has the experience and
enthusiasm to get hands-on and actually build their own XP-360
Engine under the guidance of a Superior Build Center
engine-assembly technician. This option includes general
instruction on engine build procedures, basic engine operation and
scheduled maintenance.
- Option four is for the builder who has the desire and
necessary skills to build an engine on their own. With this option,
Superior supplies all of the necessary components in the form of a
SL 360 Engine Kit for the builder to assemble a 180 horsepower
engine. (Unlike options one, two and three, option four is not an
XP-360 Engine.)
"Superior is shaping the future of sport aviation by providing
the most advanced technologies in experimental engine development
to our customers in the most state-of-the-art facilities, and our
goal is to provide pure customer delight in doing so," explained
Archer.
The XP-360 Engine is available with a one-year warranty, or an
optional three-year warranty for an additional charge, and the SL
360 Engine Kit is available with a one-year warranty on parts; all
warranties are valid from the date of shipment. Interested XP-360
Engine and SL 360 Engine Kit owners can visit Superior's web site
for Build Center option pricing and details, or contact the
Superior sales staff who will assist them with option
selections.
