Me too as long as Kevin lands it.

I had no idea Lycoming even made a 720. Hot damn!

And a IO-780, too:

Which engine did you order?

Many Kiwi's have heard the crackle of the IO-720 for years as many FU-24 Fletcher crop dusters have them under the cowls... until being replaced by Walter Turbines or in the odd case a PT-6 or Garret Turbine...
Fletchers had at last count been flown with about 20 different powerplants, from the original 260hp 6 cylinder to the 720, PT-6, Walter, Garrett, and even auto based V8's. The last Fletcher rolled off the line in 1992.
The PAC 750 Cresco was developed from the fletcher, to much success internationally, including the 750XL
