Lucas:

I agree, super engine. Have one on my GP Patty Extra and would not hesitate to buy another in the future. But I do have a question for you (or something you may not have thought of), if your installing it on a profile, how do you intend on keeping the carb out of the air & prop blast? This may become a issue once the plane is in the air. With the carb hanging out into the open it's bound to go rich and start the burbling thing. This will happen with any gas engine's carb that's out side of a cowl (and then again it happens sometimes with a cowl). Just a thought...Unless there's a cure for it when used on a profile. I'd be interested in knowing about it as I've thought of a gasser on a profile and never did it because of this issue. Any thoughts?
