I am thinking of building a couple of RV-10s and was wondering if the IO-540-K1F5 295HP engine would work OK in the RV-10 airframe. It has a 3 blade Hartzell HC-C3YR-2UF prop. These two engines push my Aerostar 600 along at 200kts and 28 gal/hr. My Aerostar is a project now, out of annual for several years, with mid time engines. I think the engine/prop combo would be a good fit with the cruise speeds almost the same.
This is the angle valve engine and may be heavier than a parallel Lycoming.
Anyone with first hand knowledge.
Thanks,
