2. If the Lycoming and Continental paradigm of large displacement
light slow turning engine was so great for aircraft, they would be
great for a lot of other things as well. Teledyne Continental and
Textron Lycoming have absolutely no interest in marketing or developing
their ridiculous museum pieces for any other markets whatsoever. The
reason is simple, no one likes being subject to ridicule. Which they
know would be the case.


Thank you for these pearls of wisdom. I'll go back and rip my brand new,
large displacement, slow turning, low parts count Jabiru 3300 from my kit
right away and replace it with a Rotax screamer at 5000 rpm, heavy gearbox
in front, three-way oil/water/air cooling labyrinth of pipes and tubes. I'm
in your debt...
