This is not true. Take a look at the 2003 Sun100 Race results: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/tiff2/racepic/sun10003.html There are a number of O-360 powered RV's that beat Tracy. One I know very well is 5th place Bobby Hargrave. This is a stock RV-8, with an Aerosport rebuilt O-360. Nothing was done to increase power from stock, aside from a Lightspeed ignition. My old RV-8 was a couple mph faster than Bob's, so it would have beat Tracy too. It was even handicapped by having a brand new Lycoming :-0 As Lynn knows, it probably wasn't even putting out 100 HP :-) I understand Rusty has a 360 for sale, cheap {:>) Not gonna happen. The O-360 is the most rational choice for this plane, since I want to be able to fly it, rather than fiddle with it. The single rotor will provide all the fiddling amusement I need.
