Hello everyone,
First post here...but I've been lurking for a while.
Gotta quick question; I'm of course aware of the F1's and Harmon rockets, but is anyone here putting a big motor on an RV8? I'm sure people have done it with a 540 but I'm thinking a little more outside the box.
I'm contemplating building an 8 with something like a carburated continental 550 or 520 with a hartzell Bucaneer prop. Has it been done? Is it impossible? Most of my experience is with the Big Continentals and I like how smooth they are and the torque they produce.
Thanks in advance for any advice or info you can give.
Bill
