Mike/Kevin,

I don't think I said that the IO-550 was poorly designed.  I just think that
fewer parts are better.  My experience with certified engines does not leave
me with the same warm, fuzzy feelings as you have.  I'll leave it at that.
Appreciate the chance to discuss this with you guys.

There are a number of rotaries flying with good results.  But you're
correct, thousands of hours tends to make you more comfortable flying behind
a particular engine.

Mark S.
