Ed;
I agree with what you posted, however I think you misread what I seek in my plane:
I seek good short field performance, and a substantial climb rate. After that I seek a strong cruise for 1 to 2 hours in the 7,000 to 12,000 ft zone followed by rapid decent without regard to shock cooling.
I accept the limitations inherent in my design. I will have to limit boost during take off, and hopefully retain about 200 HP at about 12,000 ft. As I said, I'm only looking for a modest power boost at the upper RPM range (where the propeller load is greatest) and to stay within the design limits of the airframe and the reduction gear.
Later, I may change anything. For now, this is my attainable goal....I just need to keep working on it until it flies....and beyond.
