Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the update. It's great that a drive will be available again, but it's a shame he chose such a wide ratio. Hardly anyone will want to operate the engine at 8k rpm, and even if they do, it will need a larger diameter prop than most homebuilts can swing safely, due to ground clearance issues. More typical operating rpms down in the 6k range mean sub-1800 prop rpm, which begs an even larger diameter prop.

Any chance he'll offer the more conventional 2.85? (Something close= r to 2.5 would be even nicer, to get prop rpm closer to the design point for most homebuilt airframe/engine combos.)

Charlie
