Cruises around 180-200? 15gph? Will you be putting all the speed mods on it?
Growing up dad hauled my ass all over the west in his, but alas it was only 180 horse. I'm stoked beyond belief for you, congrats. Dad ruined me, Porsche's and aircraft. But no inheritance WTF?

Beautiful Piper Comanche 250. Is that correct? Looks like a beautiful low hours airplane.

Congratulations.

1963 Comanche 250. 155 kts. @ 55% power. 12.5 GPH. Or so I'm told. About 40 hours on a rebuilt engine and new prop. I spent some of my Sons inheritance. Moab is a possibility but I really enjoy the drive through Utah.

My personal preference is the classic contemporary Bonanza Vee-tail or Deb, or later Mooneys. ~ may be a future resto for me!?

Put it in the 914, & you've got that old Bill Cosby bit about his buddy with the Cessna engine in his car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

.... Cosby nailed the sound effects on that one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Guess you have to downgrade the .95 Mach title bud! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Elliot - did you hook up with Sir Tony Dawson up there?

1963? That thing looks 2 years old to my untrained eyes.
Nice.

2750 rpm redline, 12.5 gallons/hr at half-throttle...

Aircraft engines are good for what they're good for (mostly, being FAA-certified...) and while there are some automotive engines in aircraft, Tucker was the last guy to really make a go of aircraft engines in vehicles...

Porsche made (past-tense...) the Flugmotor Mooney but for a variety of reasons bought them all back. But you can still see vestiges of the gear-driven cams in late chain houses (FAA wouldn't go for chain-driven cams). There was a tech article in the San Diego Region PCA newsletter that one of the local techs was summoned to do a plug change on the Fuji airship in town for the Torrey Pines Open - two twin-plug 930 engines in that one.

There are several books about using auto engines in aircraft. Not many go the other way...

Boy thats nice. One of my friends always wanted to develop a property were everyone could share a landing strip. He has his own but hates the expense of keeping it up.
