So I'll continue to withhold any conclusions until I see an EWP successfully flying. Mike Wills ---------------------- The only way to prove that it works for you, is to bolt it on your exact airplane and test it. Prior to that point, you won't know for sure because there are just too many variables. Of course you can't just bolt every wild idea on your plane and go fly, so you have to pre-qualify them to some extent. Some people are comfortable trying to do this with numbers, and others prefer to do with actual experience. I guess I'm in the latter category. To me, a dyno run at extended high power settings will be worth more than anything you can calculate. The good news for you Mike is that it's all theoretical anyway, since your plane will never be finished :-) Ooooooh I'm bad, but I couldn't resist :-) Rusty Turbo 13B powered RV-3... Be Afraid :-) 1993 RX-7 R1... Stock (for now, and BOTH turbos working for a change)
