   I thought that he was running a large displacement turbo
Revmaster and the engine blew while in IFR conditions - no motor
and out of options.  I think that Bill previously mentioned that
this happened in the L.A. area.  Moral of the story:  Be careful
when asking engines to do more than they are designed for.   Is
this right Bill?
   This is an interesting thread because of the large number of
planes designed for 100 HP.  Motor stuff is always interesting.
