And they claim to be doing it with that BUC. They also claim to have installed the 350 h.p. water cooled car engine WITH 12 quarts of oil, 2 gal of "lifetime" coolant, a PSRU and an AIR CONDITIONER for only 10 pounds more than a 180 h.p. air cooled aircraft engine. Yea right! Unless they are counting the fact that their cowl is so ugly that mother earth is repelling it. :-) Dave Leonard BTW, whats with the X and the 8 on the tail. Please tell me that it is not a renisis engine making that cowl. Dave Leonard Nah, it's an LS1 Corvette engine. The X & 8 on the tail form the logo for Predator Aviation. A friend suggested I have a look. I just gave the site a quick browse, but they are claiming some pretty optimistic cruise # with fairly low fuel burn. Their $$$ is also pretty high.
