They seem to be so rt of rare=2C however from what i have gathered they are similar to the 550 =2C but have a shorter stroke. They are around 315 hp=2C depending on mode l. The reason i ask is that i would really like to go with a continental=2C bu t would also like the turbo for those hot summer days. The TIO-550 is easi er to find but it seems like it maybe a little too much for the airframe=2C =2C=2C=2C=2C By the way a turbo 520 will run about the same cost as a 540 if you ever tr ack one down. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together=97at home=2C work=2C or on the go. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:47:49 PM PST US From: Smoky Ray Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Continental TSIO-520 Drop-Mark Frederick an email, he has one in an F-1, and there are two oth er F-1's flying with Continentals. - You can find him on the Team Rocket Blog. - Smokey HR2 --- On Sat, 9/27/08, Branden Hartman wrote: From: Branden Hartman Subject: Rocket-List: Continental TSIO-520 #yiv1849457965 .hmmessage P { margin:0px;padding:0px;} #yiv1849457965 { FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma;} Anyone on here have much experience with these engines?- They seem to be sort of rare, however from what i have gathered they are similar to the 550 , but have a shorter stroke.- They are around 315 hp, depending on model. - The reason i ask is that-i would really like to go with a continental, bu t would also like the turbo for those hot summer days.- The TIO-550 is ea sier to find but it-seems like it maybe a little too much for the airfram e,,,,, - By the way-a turbo 520 will run about the same cost as a 540 if you ever track one down.

This is a reasonable request and is no problem. But I have only one quote for around $1700. Is this too high? This also it does not cover having it towed to his place. Anyone know of who and the cost ($100,000 hull for now) for builders insurance. And maybe who now is doing flight insurance on the rocket. After the last accident no one wants to cover them.
