have flown a 503 powered FSII how does it compare. What are your cruise

package, vibration level, engine mount, noise level, weight of engine
package, weight of plane with engine. Photos would be nice also. Again
nothing specific.<Rick,I plan to post a flight test diary in the next couple of days to the Kolb Thread which I have been putting together over the last few weeks. Right now I've got to focus on work and get caught up. All of your above questions will be covered on that post. The link posted by Robert Laird today is pretty accurate. The climb out rate is not anywhere near as hot as the 503 was, but is adequate on any 1000' semi-decent runway with minimal obstructions. The weight was not an issue, within 2 lbs of my 503 DCDI. I have 34 hrs on the engine to date.On another subject, The Nauga Fly-In was so much fun! A big thanks goes to John Bickham for hosting a great event. A very heart-touching missing man formation was done in honor of John W. It was good to meet all who attended. Jimmy YoungFS II, Generac V-TwinHouston, TXRick, | 01234
