Not all of us were "had". That was part of the reason for my

Searching the NTSB data base I can find no report of an accident in Mena

ot heard of one do a tork roll. The planes that did that
where running a lot of power. More than we could ever put on a little KR

The other thing to consider too, is that at first it might seem cheaper, but
when you are done with it all, the Subie will cost you more than Vair. I've
heard anything from 12K to 15K if you are buying a PSRU and doing most the
other work yourself.
And don't forget, just because it has radiators t
So basically what im getting out of most people is that the Vair is better
in the long run as far as torque and power vs. weight and power. Subes
might be fine if I was just chugging around the southwest but I planned on

I didn't even think about the humor angle Larry and I hope you are
right. I will never believe that my Sube will ever cause a torque issue
as the vast majority of my trailing edges is made up of

itself is very unlikely. Not to mention how would one build a KR with enough
ground clearance for that 10 foot prop an R-985 has to swing?
Kind of reminds me of the Gee Bee Racer.

My guess is it is some sort of typo on Wiki.
A P&W R-985 weighs in at something around 650 to

Probably the biggest reason to avoid higher-powered engines in KR's is
the problem with immediate and fatal torque rolls once the wheels leave

Probably the biggest reason to avoid higher-powered engines in KR's is
the problem with immediate and fatal torque rolls once the wheels leave
the runway. Using a PSRU with a Suburu and its extra torque this
tendency would even be worse.
When KR's just had VW's, torque rolls after takeoff were
