My intention is a 160hp IO-320 with C.S. prop.  The biggest reason?  There
are no rpm restrictions on the 320.  When I fly, I don't want to have to
remember what rpms aren't good for constant operation on the third Tuesday
of months that end in "R", etc.  I've seen the posts about true horsepower
at 7,500 feet, but I'll settle for the lower power and go with Van's
recommendation - he knows the plane more than I do.  I live in lower
elevations, so high-altitude take-off operations will be rare to
non-existent.
