Engines and props?

[Brian J.]

Here is the site. http://www.predatoraviation.com/ I've exchanged emails
with them and they should have a Moose kit in about 6 months.

Here is a link to the Robinson V8 Moose.

Britt,
Was there a link to that article or was it only in the magazine?

That article on the Corvette LS1 engine in the Vans RV7 had the 400 Hp
engine 10 lbs over the 180 Hp IO360 - The bummer is that he can't climb too
fast or there is no visibility over the cowl and he can't use all the
throttle till he is at 15,000 feet - Maybe you Canadians/Alaskans could use
the extra Hp too keep your beer cold till you are at altitude - in stead of
installing air conditioning -

Jerry, can you give us some performance figures, like rate of climb,
take-off times, etc. Also, what was your empty weight on wheels? And what
prop are you using?

If I was builing a Rebel again, I would seriously look at the 0360. While I
think my 150 hp 0320 does well on amphibs, it is certainly no water rocket.
There are definitely some places I would like to go into, that I don't dare
today.

Bruce G. and I met a guy up at Nimpo that put a turbo charger in his 0360
Bushmaster, which also sounded very interesting. I was certainly impressed
when he told me some of the places he had got into. I wonder how much weight
that would add to an installation.

Anybody want to buy a good used 0320? (just kidding)

Walter

Hi Britt !

From numbers I've seen, that must have been one HEAVY
IO-360 !!! I would definitely talk to some folks who HAVE
one of the LS-1 or LS-6s - last I heard, the LS-6 was giving
the M-14P a good run in the weight department (slightly HEAVIER !).

Bob - I agree but I asked Chris about it and he was comparing a complete
system with Hartzel CS prop and a Ivo Prop so not really fair - But then
skip the turbo weight/cost and sacrifice in tbo (all those extra invoices
stuck behind in your seat pocket) that Walter referred to and it might be in
the neighborhood - I guess a copy of the Predator X8 weight and balance
would be convincing one way or the other -
