Thats interesting. I'm actually considering a turbocharger (or not) in my
build. That, and retracts will depend on medical reform. If they dont change
that, then I will build a KR with fixed gear and a flatter prop so as to comply
with the 138MPH IAS speed limit of LSA. I'd actually be okay with

" . . . the Warnke "almost constant speed prop" was popular IIRC. It had
the right flex tendencies to flatten out on takeoff then twist back to
its natural steeper pitch when forward airspeed was gained."
The Warnke was and is a gorgeous prop and is a treasure if you can find
one wit

I think the stupid part was the full-aft stick and the gusty crosswinds
during a high speed tax
Hi everyone,
Has anyone out there ever used any one of the aerocarb products on a 0-200? I
don't know long this Aerolnjector carberator system has been out. If there is
please let me know. I 'm thinking about contacting the company but didn't know
if I was wasting my time.

Thanks Mark, I did spend some time and found some early 1980ish reports of the
initial issues. Bummer. That prop was beautiful.
The other issue is whather the *new* aftermarket forged alloy cranks with extra
bearing support added to the crankcase would still not be good to hang a ground
adjustab
I wonder if the newer, larger engines (and a battery on the firewall) would
solve this and *particularly* if there is any other problem with using the
original mount method, other than balancing the CG?
I like the look of the shorter nose.

bolt-pattern-compatible with the O-200 & smaller Continentals...
