We may be straying off onto a new thread, but what the heck... I spent quite a bit of time looking at the Innodyne - both on the RV, and the Cub while at Oshkosh... It was very tempting to think about having a pair of those mounted on the Skymaster. I actually talked to the people at RiversAero, and they are only doing production mounts for RV's .... but it sounded like they would build a custom for someone if you had the time and money to do it.. If my memory is correct - the engine was going to price around $35k the firewall forward kit/mount etc. for an RV was like $10-12k - so you can bet it would be $50/end...
Slightly less horsepower, but I think that would be more than offset by the reduced weight. In my mind, the tough part is redoing all the 'other' systems that were originally setup to hang off the Continental... Pressurization, Vac, Aux Heater, etc etc etc...
I would love one, but I don't know if it would ever pay...
Any other thoughts??? I have more pictures of the conversion if anybody wants them...
