Sorry for the off topic jaunt.  Now if I could just get to work on
calculating what the loads will be if I "Limo-EZ" my Cozy MK-IV and add
a 13B turbo to the rear end.

On a serious note, how are people taking care of a constant speed prop
through the PSRUs that they are using?  It seems to me that the 13B
will be happiest at about 4500-5000 RPM all the time, and a constant
speed prop would be a good way to get there.  Not to mention that a
Cozy has a rather long ground roll without it.

Well mostly they are not. Some are fooling around with the IVO
electric prop. I am thinking of going with a German MT or Hoffman
or one from NZ called an Airmaster. All are electric.
