Do you know whether the turbo charged motor featured on Paul Yaw's site in the
float plane has proved to be successful?

The engine is fine but the aircraft is too big (46 foot wingspan) for the gear box
ratio.
They need a larger diameter slower turning prop to get that huge
airplane off the water. Now to get it off the water and have a reasonable
cruise RPM they will need some sort of variable pitch, large diameter
prop. So far its been a couple of years and the airplane has yet to fly.
