the behavior of the plane to speak of at all.
Just some ideas for thought. I was once considering a PSRU or re-drive as
some call them, for my 1915 cc VW original engine. Had I installed that, I
would have been 4 to 5 inches higher. This may be an issue many builders
have contemplated o
the lower rpms, with less cfm demand. Use The Auto
Mathbook to find you engine demand, then match the carb to it).
The Averovee and of course the Ellison are other examples of drastic
improvements.

Biggest safety issues seem to be power on stall behavior, and how large
changes in power settings up and down would effect pitch. If it is in the

change to contend with. Then again I am not an engineer...

The only advantage that I can see to make the changes suggested is if the
airplane was going to be a dedicated high altitude flyer. This suggested set
up would eliminate the situation Mark L is describing of having his plane
nose up at high altitude.
