Dwyane,
Not true, as the Lyc requires a good baffle system to work well. No=20
water required of course. The Mistral is a bunch lighter even with heat=20
exchangers and coolant.

For what it's worth, the IO-540 pictured includes all of the "cooling=20
systems" so it's not quite a straight forward comparison, but pretty=20
nifty none the less.

Hey, we knew that Mark,=C2=A0 I mean - how can you undertake a roll-your-ow=
n=20
engine conversion project without being an eternal optimist {:>)??

But, I hope you are right - they were so close.

Being the eternal optimist, I believe that someone with a fat wallet=20

were too close to give it all up for good.

I was under the understanding that the Mistral engine had an SAE 2 prop=20
hub.=C2=A0 The hubs are certainly not the same on these two engines!!??
=C2=A0
The ratio is the same, but is the Mistral PSRU based on the same gear=20
set as Tracy=E2=80=99s PSRU?
