Bill, Dustin: Take off and cruise are what we worry about most ... But don't forget about DESCENT and SLOW FLIGHT when your neighbor wants to take pictures of the "cottage". Use the KISS approach ...

You are going to fit in quite well. The reason for all those valves and plumbing on the Renesis is that it is normally aspirated. They don't make a turbo for it. It has 10:1 compression so you need to take that into consideration when you boost it. You could blow it up. Also with the plane, unlike the car, you basically have two speeds, take off and cruise. You don't need to try and maximize the intake for all those different rpms because you will only be running at, mostly, two of them. The intake that comes from the factory will not fit under the cowl on a plane. This means you will have to build your own. If you start trying to do all the plumbing and valve flipping that you are talking about, you will certainly need a bunch of friends with lots and lots of EEEEs behind their name. You would be surprised at the journey that this becomes. I started working on my plane in 2002 and it just passed its Airworthiness Inspection. I still haven't flown it because there are still issues that need to be tweeked. Maybe next week! Good Luck!
