Hey, Oscar.......I represent that statement!! Some say I actually operate LOP. Anyway, I have watched the LOP develope over the Beech list. These guys have gobs of money to spend on the latest and greatest certified stuff. In doing so, some very interesting numbers are now available to those interested in the subject. Just do a Google search and sit back with your favorite beverage. It does require attention to detail, usually nessitated by the install of an engine monitering/controlling system. Certainly, the optimal circumstance would be individual control of each cylinder. What these guys are looking for, with those big engines, is reduced buildup on valves, decreased fuel comsumption and max engine performance at various altitudes. No, I never did visit the land of LOP, as my Bo had a pressure sensitive carb that supposedly adjusted itself with altitude change.........yeah, right. If you notice, I said my Bo HAD...................sold my half of it about three weeks ago. Got one son getting ready to attend Med school, one son getting ready to start college and gotta finish this little project in the garage.
