I think if you want the safety and assuredness of testing that a
certified engine has, then fly behind one-in a nice certified airframe
that you can buy cheaper than building a homebuilt. A structural
inflight failure will get you killed far more reliably than an engine
failure. If you are opposed to experimenting, you shouldn't be in
experimental aviation.



It would be exceedingly rare for any pilot with many thousands of
hours experience, like myself, to endorse your warped & cavalier view.

Ever wonder why?

No. I just assumed the old codgers liked their lawn mower engines and
are too senile to think for themselves any more. Just like you, Bob.

(No, I don't really think Lycomings are lawn mower engines, but I do
think Bob is senile.)
