As I recall, in 2014 or 15 (maybe earlier) there were two RV-8's from California with Powersport Mazda conversions at Oshkosh that were done up as warbirds (P-40 and P51). Very nice looking and flying airplanes that were built in parallel with one another. Later I heard that one of them crashed in CA due to an electrical problem.

Good points Charlie ...
The really scary thing is : the next "Alternative Engine" is going to be an electric motor ... and we think there are electrical complications now.

I hate it that the FAA's accident database will now show yet another crash 'caused' by an alternative engine, when in fact it was caused by uninformed/bad electrical design decisions made by the builder.

OK, rant mode off...
