Chris,
What are your performance projections and cost.
George 9down under)

We're hoping to get
230 MPH cruise on 150 HP.
2000+ FPM climb with a constant speed prop.
Stall around 60 with full fowler flap treatment, full meaning even the 8' of
    'wing' under the fuselage.
40 gallons of fuel in the wings.
We would like to keep the kit cost between $25K - $30K.

Look for an official set of #'s in about a month.  We're putting together an
info pack and will be posting it to the site.

What I'd really like to do is get the Cosman I owner to swap to a rotary.
He's currently running an A-65 at the 55HP level and averaging 149 kts on
the copperstate dash.

More fuel please Chris. Lots of fuel is a safety feature. If you get where
you are going and the weather turns bad it gives you more options.
I have had to turn back up in Alaska more than once when the weather
shut down after a 350 mile flight.

The guy with the Cosman Mark I mentioned to me he had limited fuel
and that is the reason he did not want to put a rotary in it.
17 gallons as I recall.
