I'm not sure where that came from. Takeoff ground roll was shorter than with
the piston engine. Pattern speeds are not changed by the engine type. Maybe
you thought the climb rate of over 2000 fpm was the takeoff ground roll. High
fuel consumption, ...yes. Coolness factor, ...off the
Probably would be real efficient at 25,000'. Not exactly practical for
a KR, but certainly has a lot of cool factor.

John,
It was just above freezing here so cooling was not an issue. Once its back in
the air I will slowly work from normalizing to boosting. Cooling will likely be
the limiting factor for how much I can push it.

Joe Horwath of Revmaster says that the engine can go to 40" manifold, but

3200RPM and 34" of manifold on take-off only will translate to maximum

I am re-building a Hapi turbo with the intent to fly normalized compensation
[without pressuring the manifold].
Normally aspirated engines suffer from reduction of manifold pressure as
they climb, which pilots compensate for by pushing in the throttle. At
about 7,500 feet the engine runs "out of
