Paul and all,
I have not yet read the article in Sport Aviation featuring the
Powersport installations. A couple of folks on the newsletter have
sent me snips of your thread. As you all may have guessed there is a
lot more to the story than is probably represented in the story.
Among other things the planes were run side by side at the same speed
and RPM for the economy test. Clearly this concludes nothing about
the economy of the engine. beyond that I will reserve comment until I
have a chance to read the article and clarify the actual test
conditions.
Cheers
Tedd James

Apparently Ken Scott (the author) is an employee of Van's Aircraft.
Hardly an unbiased author as Van is a Lycoming engine
dealer.

From http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/eaa-ye.htm

"Van sent Ken Scott to Pioneer Airport, on the EAA grounds at Oshkosh, to spend a few days helping out and get the project off on the right foot."
