REFLECTOR: Engine Selection

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

JP,  

To be very honest,    If you had flown the DH out to my airport... and could 
actually get off the Ground safely in the middle of summer... fully loaded... 
I would have put down my money on it!  Since that was not an option when i had 
to pick an engine... I did the next best thing:  I built a 325 HP Aluminum 
V-6 that weighs the same as an IO-360 complete. I had fewer obstacles to go 
through than you folks did.. and I admire your conviction, determination, and 
knowledge.  

While I still do not believe your product would carry a 173 FGE out of my 
airport safely, I do believe it is a worthwhile consideration for the majority of 
V-builders. All you have to do is convince them.. and I believe that you just 
might. 

Again... not all products fit all builders... but you are doing an admirable 
job.... Keep up the good work.
