The only reason I put the 260hp in is they don't make a 460hp one.
I'm waiting for somebody to bolt one of these onto the nose of an RV-10

Good object lesson here, the 400 HP Comanche cruised 13% faster than the 260 HP version while burning 40% more fuel. Sucker sure would climb though, burning over a gallon of fuel every 2 minutes.

An excellent object lesson. Of course, Avgas was probably about $.40 a gallon (or less!) back when that airplane was being sold!
