Kevin, you have to read what Bruce said carefully. He said that the
**DURABILITY TESTS** "exceed, by about 400", anything required to
certify an aviation type engine." He did not say anything about
exceeding the 100% power tests for aircraft certification.

Looks like it's time for me to re-post that article from an automotive
engineer about the typical engine development durability tests. I'll
post it in a seperate article so as not to muck up this thread.

Post away. Repeat again and again,

Why thank you BOb, so kind of you to grant me this rare privelege. ;-)

but...
a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link --
certified or Rube Goldberged. Not to mention,
form follows function where max safety is concerned.
So, blithely and happily, convert away. One soul claims
2000 hours.Why not you, too? You only live once.
So, go for it. What have you got to lose?

I know that you are comfortable with your endeavor,
but you'll not ever get me to fly outside gliding distance
of the airport unless I incur an unbridled passion to not
be pigeon holed in an nursing home for seniors.
And... that could happen. ;o(


Barnyard BOb -- 50 years of flight

My wife is determined to overcome her tendency towards motion sickness
to fly with me in the airplane. She wants to do this, she says, so
that when I fly into the side of a mountain, we'll both go together.
Then we won't be vegitating in a nursing home till we don't recognise
each other.
