Performance Engine did the engine and, yes, the
plenum is the handiwork of Andy. I'm sure Andy would be happy to discuss
doing one for other people too (he has the molds).
The
engine is to be put on the dyonometer this week to confirm 400 plus HP at 2700
RPM and 38.5 inches MP.
I'll
give a couple of projections, but until validated by flight test, they are
projections.
FL 240
- 205 KIAS / 21GPH / 320KTAS / 368 MPH TAS
FL 240
- 200 KIAS / 17-18 GPH / 312 KTAS / 358 MPH TAS
Wow, Lynn!
She’s a beaut! Although, as pretty
as your airplane looks, I like the looks of your engine even more! That
monster makes my heart race. Can you give us a few details about the engine
and the custom plenum? Is that some of Andy’s work, or are you responsible for
all that beautiful carbon fiber? Do you have any target performance
numbers?
Drooling with
Envy,
Mike
