The article I'm speaking of was on a V-8 powered IV-P built by Jim Rahm (I apologize if I spelled it wrong)..tail-number 420HP. The company that he started w/ a partner to market it was called Engineair. From what I gathered, the V-8 is a good alternative to the TSIO/550--it looks to burn less fuel, make less noise, and deliver more power and speed. However, now looking online for the company, it appears that it is now out of business. Looking at someone else's site that was wanting to use one, I think they were having difficulty finding PSRU's for them . Has anyone heard or seen anymore from this company? Are and of you using V-8's or any other engines in your birds? (I think Pat Cohenour was going to use a V-8 in his bird..) My second set had to do with the Builder's Week. How many of you are taking or took advantage of it? I've seen the itinerary for what you accomplish each of the weeks that you stay and somewhere saw that you could stay for up to eight weeks..? How does the time saved stack up against the cost? Lastly do you get a group-rate for lodging at a nearby hotel or is it just whatever you want to do? Thanks in advance for your time ..:) <>adam<>
