The other thing to consider too, is that at first it might seem cheaper, but when you are done with it all, the Subie will cost you more than Vair. I've heard anything from 12K to 15K if you are buying a PSRU and doing most the other work yourself. And don't forget, just because it has radiators

[quote] I would have to say an engine that weighs more than the aircraft itself is very unlikely. Not to mention how would one build a KR with enough ground clearance for that 10 foot prop an R-985 has to swing? Kind of reminds me of the Gee Bee Racer. ?Regards, Myron (Dan) Freeman

Probably the biggest reason to avoid higher-powered engines in KR's is the problem with immediate and fatal torque rolls once the wheels leave the runway. Using a PSRU with a Suburu and its extra torque this tendency would even be worse. When KR's just had VW's, torque rolls after takeoff were
