Bill,

I bought my 20B from another builder ($2600.)

I thought about a two rotor of some sort with a turbo but it kind of went against the logic of why I wanted a rotary in the first place.

The difference in weight for 300hp (and simple) vs. ~260 with the turbo was a good compromise in my judgement.

So are a lot of folks upgrading to the 20B?

Where are you finding your engines and to those who don’t mind disclosing, what are you having to pay for a 20B

I have considered either the 20B or going to a turbo on the Renesis for my Lancair Legacy. There are pros and cons both way.

I would like to have an honest 250 HP here and I really stress the honest. I would like to see a 250-270 HP takeoff at sea level, and a cruise at 8K ft of close to 200 HP
