Whirlwind composite prop. To address CofG he Increased weight in the starter, alternator, backup alternator along with a second battery.

I might be able to get him to chime in, he's a member of VAF. I don't want to speak out of turn. I'll shoot him a PM

I visited the CMI / Titan display at SnF earlier this year and if my memory is reliable, they had a Titan 370 angle valve (or said that they were just shy of having one ready to roll out) displayed. I know that I did talk to them about a 370 angle valve.

Their sales pitch was that it 'should' not be a difficult adaptation onto a RV14 - but wouldn't go much further beyond that having no direct experience doing one. I am interested enough to keep watching Titan though as I too am a year or more from ordering an engine.

Looking into adaptations to adjust for the CG will have to happen when I am able to start with some good RV14A W&B data.
