Option 2! With the option to turbo compound via the large blow down

turbine you so recently devised.

Chris Cosman

Well then you would have 480 HP at altitude :) Or if you slowed it
down you would have have 20% more range with the same amount of fuel.

Paul Lamar

Right!  Option #2 on that as well.  Range is always preferrable to landing
and refuelling

in my opinion.

I tell you true, if I wasn't spending so much money on my plane right now,
I'd be the first one to
have a compound turbo built!!!!! I love the idea, but like so many people
have found out, money
does talk very loudly, and right about now my wallet is whimperin'....FLOL!

I share  Chris Cosman's opinion as well.  Tell you what.  I'll  get the
turbo compound system working and you can get the 2" P port 13B underway.
Both are ambitious projects.

Doug in Japan

One somewhat less ambitious than the other :)
