Ed,

I really think your post is right on and I for one don�t have the knowledge to install any engine other than a Lycoming and I will need some good backup in that department. As we all know someday our birds need to take to the air with us at the controls!

I was on the internet a few months ago researching this subject, and soon located your site. By the way you have a wonderful site and lots of experience, practical knowledge and dedication. I looked at the site for a short time and said to myself, this is not me. I�m not really mechanical and everyday I learn something new just trying to build the RV9A.

Thanks for you post today and thanks for keeping us builder on track.

Thanks for you comments, Jim

One of the objectives of my website and postings is to try and convey the good, the bad, and the ugly of MY conversion process - so that others may make a better informed decision. I don't advocate anybody taking on such a project - but, if you are going to, best to get a feel for what is really ahead of you.

Fortunately, unlike the "old" days, most alternative engines of popular interest now have an e mail list. Being able to share information has significantly enhanced safety, lessened risk and promoted good practices as we exchange the successful approaches and perhaps equally important - those approaches which were less than successful. Just having the moral support of like-minded individuals can help get you over the rough spots. But, there is still the added risk element.

If your primary objective is to fly, I always recommend sticking in a proven engine and go enjoy - life is too short to do otherwise. But, if you have a streak of masochism in you, enjoy (I know -sounds sort of sick) solving technical problems and tinkering then it MIGHT be your cup of tea.

Thanks again, Jim, you used the information as I would have hoped - to make the decision best suited to you.

Ed
