So Im looking at my "mission" and would say it's going to be split 50/50 cross country with my wife and aerobatics alone, hopefully one day at a competitive level. (clearly wanting to relive my military days...lol)
My question is what would be the best engine/ prop combo to achieve both? should i be looking at a constant speed prop or sticking with a fixed pitch? Would a fuel injected engine be better than a carb?
Finally, what about HP, do i need 200 plus or would a Lycoming 320 do the job?
I don't want to be in a position in a few years when i wished i had made a different decision, but l also don't have a limitless budget!
Sorry if this seems like a really basic question but this is the start of what i hope will be an exciting journey for me!
