Are you comfortable with a one-off engine or would you rather have a "proven" design. Which do you have more to spare: money? Or time? Are you comfortable with $15,000 overhauls with Lycomings Vs $1500 with the Renesis? Do you want to buy everything off the shelf FWF or would you rather save $$ and build it yourself? I recommend you go and actually see/touch somebody's Renesis installation before making your decision.

David, it depends on what = you’re comfortable with.

250 HP Vs 225 HP is not = significant.

Are you comfortable with a one-off = engine or would you rather have a “proven” = design.

Which do you have more to spare: = money? Or time?

Are you comfortable with $15,000 = overhauls with Lycomings Vs $1500 with the Renesis?

Do you want to buy everything off = the shelf FWF or would you rather save $$ and build it = yourself?

I recommend you go and actually = see/touch somebody’s Renesis installation before making your = decision.
