Good choice Chris.   In flying, as in life, if something doesn't work for you, leave it behind and find something that does.

Happy Flying,

If there is interest, I am happy to part with my install.....well. maybe not happy as I become very attached. :-)  I prefer to see it all go together. The current IVO inflight adjustable prop is set up for a pusher.  I have some desirable pieces, Tracy's RD-B PSRU, two EC2's, one EM2, stock oil cooler, turbo, and, maybe the plumb of the bunch, a Mistral intake. I know I cant get back what I have in it, but I would like to get something and I think the intake may be worth a premium.  Since I look at all you guys and girls as friends, if you may be interested, I sure we could come to mutually pleasing terms.

 

I don't come to this choice lightly however, if I would have just pulled the trigger, saved some cash and installed a standard engine a while back I likely would have been flying for the last several years. However, I really like the rotary, the engineering behind it and all the support and effort that all y'all continue to put into it. This is not a commentary on the rotary, it may be a commentary on my ability.  I actually think I have some ability but I am just tired of not making solid strides. 

 

There is probable much more to be said, but I tend to be too verbose as it is and I am sure this will not be my last comments on the issue.
