Paul, and whomevever else is listening,

A little off-topic, but...After reading this newsletter for more than
six months, I've concluded that I would rather build my airframe
around my powerplant (bulletproof, turbo-compounded rotary of course)
as opposed to choosing my engine for the airframe.

I was initially intent on a Super Pulsar 100 as well...Anyone have
recommendations for an airframe with similar appearance and
performance, albeit a bit heavier to handle the noted above rotary?

Can you remind me of the design goals for the turbo-compound? 250 HP? .39
BFSC?

Thanks,

Michael
