Andy is an engineer by profession, owning Andair Engineering, who make all manner of precision components for the aircraft industry.

G-GRIN is fitted with a Lycoming IO-360 A1A engine of 180hp. It is fitted with Airflow Performance mechanical fuel injection, which removes any risk of induction icing that occurs on carburetted engines. The ignition system has one magneto and one Lightspeed electronic unit fitted. Cooling drag is reduced and cooling efficiency increased by the fitting of round cooling inlets mated to "Sam James" plenums fitted to the engine. The propeller is an Aymar Demuth 68x78 with steel leading edges and harmonic damper.
