Greetings,

 

I was talking to Fred this morning, and he mentioned something I hadn’t considered about the use of the turbo.  The would have to be a huge gyroscopic load on the bearings of the turbo when doing aerobatics.  The more I’ve thought about it, the more I can’t recall ever hearing of an aerobatic plane with a turbo.  Certainly something to think about.

 

I have to admit that I came VERY close to removing the turbo today, but I’ve come this far, and now have the BUC (big ugly cowl) sized to fit everything, so I’m going ahead with the turbo.  Of course the weight and balance could shoot the turbo out of the water too.   Unfortunately, I seem to be at the eternal 2 month to completion mark :-)
