Run it at its most efficient fuel flow via FADEC with redundant electronic computer control. No LOP/ROP worries. Have faith in a TBO engine (750 hours on prototype – inspections showing little if any breakdown). Have water-cooling with only a ~20lb weight penalty over IO-550. Use about 19GPH at cruise while going 20-30kts faster than the IV with Continental BEFORE the Continental gives up HP to LOP/ROP adjustments. Two of these are flying – one just won the grand champion award at Sun n Fun. Over five years of testing on the prototype has proven the concept. Only problem to date has been production blues. Those are over now and engines are available with 6-month lead time (first deliveries towards the end of this year). Price is about the same as the Continental, but operating costs are considerably less and overhaul costs are about 1/3. Factory will do the mounting and dressing of your engine, so the installation is not overwhelming. The engine of course is the EPS V8. See website at: www.engineair.net Since you’ll be unpressurized and want speed, talk with Fred Moreno at Fmoreno@direcpc.com ; He has the same objective as you and will be using the EPS V8.
