And if all the salty food this weekend didn?t make you thirsty, this short and very fun video of Herman in his imaculate RV-8 will for sure!

Please enjoy and give a thumbs up to our friends in Germany!
 
I'd like to see the out-takes for that video. :)

And what engine is in that RV-7A? Something inline, presumably?
 
So what LOM engine is this?

Do you have M332C supercharged version:

OR do you have

Walter-LOM M332B
160 HP, 4 cylinder

M332B Engine Features:

FOUR STROKE
DIRECT DRIVE
AIR COOLED
OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT

LOW SPECIFIC FUEL CONSUMPTION
ALT. COMPENSATED FUEL INJECTION
2,000 HOURS TBO
Horsepower, Max 160
Propeller Drive direct
No. of cylinders 4
Take-off (HP/RPM) 160/3000 (high RPM for rated HP)
Power to weight ratio 1.6 lb/HP
Cruise (HP/RPM) 120/2400
Frontal area 2.1 sq.ft.

Bore (Inches) 4.13
Recommended Fuel (Octane) 78 - 100 LL

It would be great to have performance numbers of the LOM powered RV from Deutschland, compared to Lycoming 320 or 360. .
