Mark, you're the only guy I've heard of who puts $4000 into an engine, countless hours into tweaking everything, time into installation and troubleshooting, taking pictures for others to learn from; then, when that engine dies a young and tragic death, says " tonight I'll start tearing down the "spare" 95 hp engine (after I have a beer or two). This is not really as bad as it sounds". That's a fantastic attitude. I would have blown a head gasket at losing the money and (mostly) the time I had put into that engine.
Hmmm, a turbo would make the airplane nice and quiet. . .maybe you do have a point. But if you go with a front starter arrangement won't you have to modify your cowling to have a "stubby" nose? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
