Mike, Just a few questions and thoughts, mainly because I'm curious. I'd be interested to know the HP rating of the GO480 installed in the Helio. I've been watching a few people that are building Bearhawks and one article mentions that the GO480 isn't favored for that application for the relative high weight to HP ratio compared to the 540. The QueenAir uses supercharged 480's. The unblown engines run about 295HP I believe. There's no free lunch. While the gohpers get more HP out of less cubic inches, the weight doesn't really go down because of the weight of the gear box. The CG does go forward a bit though.
