Fastest 100hp homebuilt or kit?
Rand Robinson KR-2 but only if you resist the temptation to Modify (ie add
weighty accessories) supposedly does it on 75 hp but I think it's a bit exaggerated! John "tom pettit" tompetatpeakdotorg wrote: Okay, I don't want to pay the fuel bill on a monster engine. I do want to go fast. What kit or plans homebuilt will go 200 mph on 100 hp? tom |

I don't see a 200 mph cruise on 100 HP on the Pulsar website. They list the
O200 as a possible powerplant for the Super 100 but don't provide any performance numbers for it. I wish the AR5 would go into kit production. It is a neat airplane and goes like stink on a miserly fuel burn. |

I met the guy that built it (I think you were there) - he wasn't real small
and with a serious diet I think we could fit. :-) jim |

They list O-200, IO-240, O-235, Rotax and Jabiru as engine options. These range from 80-125hp, so it is not clear which engine is being used. The AR5 was a single seat, right? Another possibility would be the Q200. It is supposed to go 200mph using an O-200, but I believe most are around 180mph. |

Evidently they are pushing the auto engines. The performance numbers are
there for all but the O200. Yes the AR5 is a single seat and IIRC the designer/builder was tall but not too big around. If I was going to build a small go-fast it would probably be the VariEze. As for the Q200: 180 mph cruise is nothing to sneeze at on 5 gph. jim '05 HR2 looking for an RV3 kit or a single seat O200 250 mph homebuilt (NO F1's) :-) jim Nathan Young wrote: Good point on the SP100.

Shucks. BD-5 will do it with less than 100 hp. You can pick one up
cheap. But you need 3000+ hrs to finish one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQ2000 canard: http://www.abri.com/sq2000 |
