Thank you, Herb. It would be interesting to hear from someone who actually flies one of the higher HP machines (ie: with 520 or 550).
The other interesting engine is the Continental CD-300, which is a jet-A burning 310hp diesel. At "cruise power" (which I take to be 75%), this is claimed to burn 9.7gph per engine, which may mean that the reduced useful load is offset by less need for fuel.
Anyway, I'm likely not enough of a test pilot to be the first one to try that engine out! Still, one can dream.
Dan
