My only experience of (roughly) the same engine was on the 400 Comanche and the Excalibur conversion to the Queenair A80, neither were particularly happy experiences, with quite a few problems with a big spread of CHT.

The temp problems were eliminated, and the fuel flows reduced by 10%. It's still underpowered, but not the problem it once was. The fit of the cowlings, and baffle seals got a lot of attention as well. While the Gami's have not been fitted to my IGO-540's, they have indicated they will work with me to fit a set. He's in St. Augustine (Aeroquest Services) if you want the report first hard. He has a lot of first hand experience wit the Mr. RPM conversions as well. Good Luck C ________________________________ From: Bill Hamilton Sent: Tue, October 13, 2009 5:41:18 AM Subject: Commander-List: 680 FL Folks, I am soliciting opinions on the 400hp direct drive conversion to the 680F/FL/FLP.
