> Hello:
   
   Tim Ong is absolutely correct about the "ESP.".  We experienced a
"typographical error" in our advertisement placed out at Sun & Fun.  I hope
that this source of mis-information has been corrected by our sales
department, but if not, please accept Tim Ong's statements as correct.  The
"ESP" was designed to be pressurized and as such requires a turbocharged
engine, just like the IV-P, for it's pressurization source.  The recommended
engine for the "ESP" is the TSIO-550-C, 310hp Continental engine.  Some may
wish to cheat a bit and use the TSIO-550-E, 350hp Continental engine, but
either way, you should see performance in the range expressed by Tim.
  
  The "ESP" will have a slightly greater empty weight because of the weight of
the pressurization options, this may lead to a slightly increased stall speed,
but since aerodynamically it is virtually identical to the original ES, I
would not imagine the difference in stall speed to be more than a knot or two.
  Best not to speculate but to test once the aircraft is complete.
  
  Please keep watching the www.aerocraftparts.com web site for problems or
errors.  Vern isn't't busy this time of year and we need to keep him hopping.
  
  Thanks again,
