Tracy,
 
Do you have any concerns about the gearbox handling that much HP?  Yes, I know there are a number of 3-rotor installations running your gearbox with no problems.  The reason I ask is that I am building a P-port 3-rotor for my Lancair and am a little concerned whether or not the gearbox is up to it.  I'm figuring about 375-400hp.

High speed taxi tests complete on RV-8.  First flight likely to be next week after addressing some minor sqawks (sticky flap switch, sticky aileron trim cable).

Kelly,
 
I guess it is just you and me at the moment.  I have been flying my 3-rotor Lancair pretty much every chance I get.  It is showing 139.7 hrs on the Hobbs.  I've been as far north as Denver, and two weeks ago flew it down to Port Aransas, TX.  Cooling could use some improvement in order to keep flying during the hot Texas summers.  But I'm working on that.  Stay tuned...
