Hi Brian I think the strip at highgate is known as spence feild it's been
a long time since I've been in there but I remember it being 1 1/4 miles
long, about 100ft. wide and billiard table flat with grass like a golf
green. There is/was? a fairey swordfish based at the feild. It's good
enough for my rebel but I land in farmers feilds to visit freinds :)

Hey Ken,

Run that one by me again. What's the formula? I've never heard that
stated before. Very interesting though!!

Thanks.

ps.... anybody ever use the grass strip closest to me, the field at
Highgate, CNA2? WUZZIT like? Good for a Rebel?

I would guess that when we see the rotax V6 numbers, at least some folks

Somewhat like a 912 tends to perform better than most equivalent rated
Lycosaurs on a Rebel. The larger slow turning prop will give more
takeoff thrust per hp. The turbo likely means no reduction in takeoff
power due to altitude to at least a few thousand feet.

From Bob's comments, if the normally aspirated engine is only burning
11gph at .42 sfc then it is only making 11 gph * 6 lb/gal / .42 hp-hr/lb

= 157 hp.

Off the top of my head I would guess that at 18 gph the radial engine is

making about 215 hp. leaned out. Is that in the ballpark?? If it is
getting the same cruise speed, that will give an indication of the
difference. More efficient prop, a lot less cooling drag, significantly
less fuel weight for an equivalent mission, etc.

Not sure its fair to compare that

Exactly we need a 350 to 400 hp At this point LS1, Ls^ is our only

good

option. Rumers are of a V8 400hp Bombi but in about 5 years.
