Klaus's O-200 makes much more than 100 HP. Probably more like 150.
He manufactures, uses, and sells high-compression pistons for the O-200. Plus, when he's racing it's probably turning 4k rpm or better. Book rpm for the 100 HP O-200 is 2750 at takeoff, much less at cruise. Mike Arman didn't have to "trick" the Rotax 582 for power to get over 200 mph in the AR-5. He did trick the airframe, however. Read all the books and articles in his bibliography and you can build his airplane too. He doesn't sell plans but you could still figure it all out and come close, especially if you're as sharp and as talented as Arman. Of course, I'm addressing the original poster here, only. |

A magnificent example of vapor technology ;-) Unobtanium wings with Gossamer skin on helium-cell Futurium foam, Not-Yet-Invented engine and No-Drag01 airfoil, the lot... I saw the mockup at the Blois Show (France) last September. IMHO, a very good add-on to MS Flight Simulator. Regards, Gilles Thesee Grenoble, France http://contrails.free.fr |

On the other hand, the MCR 01 are very well behaved, conventional airplanes, with brilliant takeoff and landing performance. And they are flying by the hundred in this country.
