Did they ever really start selling those V6 engines?  I remember seeing
pictures of a Piper of some sort (Arrow?) with one installed... in the
"final" stages of flight testing.  I think the last date I heard was 2005.
Haven't seen one yet.  ???

That RV-10 is a pig compared to your MCR, Gilles.  Almost twice the empty
weight.  Great website, btw.  We referenced it often when installing our
914.  Keep it up!!
