I agree with Noel here and again, I really would like to run an article about your installation and experience.

We may not always agree with each other, our choices, or even our airframes - but the beauty and freedom of experimental aviation is we have choices that certified aircraft do not offer.

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with one of the hangar bums about the AeroVee turbo. In the end we agreed to disagree but I respect his opinions.

I applaud anyone who goes against the grain and tries something different. This is the essence of experimental aviation. We all learn something from their results.
This particular setup is doing something that shows some promise. A certified engine. No Viking, Corvair, Revmaster, Jabiru or Aerovee can claim this.
Keep us informed on your testing and endure the naysayers.

Hang tough Ed, I am interested in your story.

Now that Ed has achieved the reputedly impossible, who's going to have a crack at hanging a Rotec radial off the front on a Sonex and thus produce the first "Radex"?

There's got to be someone out there in the land of the free and the home of the (very) brave.

Hi all,
Keep posting Ed. We are all interested in your O-200 install and testing. We applaud u in finishing , getting inspected, getting a airworthiness certificate , first flight, now phase one.

Funny the people that shout the loudest haven't done any of these things, yet are the 'experts'.

Enough said.

Behold the turtle, he makes no progress until he sticks his neck out.
Always nice to see folks tying new things so long as done intelligently.
