RE: [FlyRotary] Re: another BUC???
Wow, they really
have some guts making outrageous claims like those!! 200 mph indicated
(180 hp) at 4000' on 7-8 gph is impossible, you cant make horsepower
without burning fuel. 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. :-)

BTW, whats with
the X and the 8 on the tail. Please tell me that it is not a renisis
engine making that cowl.

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.
