What is the power of the IO-720 powered Nemesis NXT? Are NXT's available?
A 4
rotor turbo compound should give an easy and reliable 1200 to 1400 HP.
Depends
on the boost. When you can get 1200 out of a 3 rotor, a 4 ought to be no
problem with power recovery. My money says that would shake things up big
time!

Hard to tell as most Reno aircraft engines are souped up by a company
called Lycon.

It is just NXT. Nemesis was the first individual aircraft of owner,
designer, builder, pilot, kit maker John Sharp. Sport class rules require 6
kits to be made in able to qualify as a kit aircraft, so as far as I know
that is how many NXT kits were made. I think I can account for all of them:
Nemesis
Relentless
Some guy in South America built one as a daily flier
The French guys put a Diesel in one that flew in Reno this year
There is a turbo-prop going into one in order to set a bunch of time to climb
and cross country speed records
and there was the Carbon Fiber shell of the last one still for sale ready to
be built. Contact Kevin Eldridge of Relentless if you want to buy either
Relentless, or the remaining kit.
(there may be more that I don't know about)
