I'd need help with the balance (CoG) since the nose would be about 70lb lighter (based on engine weight alone, not sure about mounts). Would have thought performance would be similar with Jabiru @170hp and the Lycoming @ 180hp. 70 lbs is quite a bit difference. Don't be surprised if you have to move that engine forward for the W&B and to build a new cowling. Sequoia may not publicly back the idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept in touch just to see how it's working. Also everyone involved must remember that this is an experimental category, so have fun experimenting. Lou |
