Folks,
I am soliciting opinions on the 400hp direct drive conversion to the 680F/FL/FLP.
My only experience of (roughly) the same engine was on the 400 Comanche and the Excalibur conversion to the Queenair A80, neither were particularly happy experiences, with quite a few problems with a big spread of CHT.
Regards,
Bill Hamilton

Bill,
Admitting no first hand experience, I did watch my mechanic/restoration guru Richard Cam dial in a set of Gami's on 2 different QueenAirs. The temp problems were eliminated, and the fuel flows reduced by 10%. It's still underpowered, but not the problem it once was. The fit of the cowlings, and baffle seals got a lot of attention as well. While the Gami's have not been fitted to my IGO-540's, they have indicated they will work with me to fit a set. He's in St. Augustine (Aeroquest Services) if you want the report first hard. He has a lot of first hand experience wit the Mr. RPM conversions as well.
Good Luck
C

Thanks for that, but my prior was BG ( not BC – before Gami)
Off topic, but in the ‘60s, TAA in Australia had a small fleet of A-80s, they did a complete certification of T/O performance at METO power, to get a bit more life of the IGSO-540-B1As. They also decided to make more baggage space by burying all the avionics inside modified leading edges of the wings, then proceeded to operate some in Australia wettest areas. You can guess the rest.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton
