Top curse at 165 to 170 MPH on 100hp is quite a rush. With the wheel well
in between the two seats, there is the feeling of lots of room.
The Europa is quit light and that heavy old fashion engine would not be a
good thing. The 914 will go as high as you would ever want to go in a non
pressurized cabin, I would think.
Give me a call, and I can show you my project. It should be fling by the
Arlington Air Show this year. (hope , hope)

Subject: IO-240 and Super 200
Hi all, I have been lurking for awhile. I live in Washington state. I have
a couple of questions.
Has anyone put a Continental engine in their planes? I was thinking of an
IO-240 or a Super 200. Would they fit? Would weight and balance be doable?
I guess this also opens up the can of worms with how everyone feels about
reliability of all of the different engines. Would the 914 have a higher
ceiling that the IO-240 due to the turbo?
Second, as I am looking at kit planes, two have risen to the top, the Europa
and the Pulsar Super 100. I like the efficiency and removable wings of the
Europa, but I hope that the Pulsar may have more cabin width at the
shoulders and allows more std engine options, and is a little faster.
Thanks for your input,
Dwight
