What a bone head.  I will have to have a word with him at Sun N Fun if
he is there.

Interesting part about the RV safety record and the more reliable engine
distorting the statistics.  It is true that the vast majority of RV
builders use factory new engines or they build new ones themselves at a
factory build center.  If everyone building a KR or Sonerai had $25K for
a brand new O-200 the safety record would skyrocket and if all the RV
builders were using auto conversions they would be killing people every
day.  Don't take this as a bash on auto conversions.  They are safe and
reliable when done correctly, but not as reliable as a brand new or
overhauled aircraft engine.

Guys, 

I am not one to pick a fight on the internet, but we had a guy join
sonerai.net that was apprehensive about the design based on this
