Looking for facts about high compression pistons

Check the Lycon site. Occasionally I hear rumors that they are working on
an STC for the IO540s in our Aztec. From what I understand, they would put
a red line on the MAP which should not be exceeded and this would protect
the engine from exceeding the HP rating. Like I said, this is simply hanger
talk but you may learn something from a phone call.

Thanks Jim, that was my view. Just don't use full throttle near sea
level. I can live with that trivial operational restriction.

Also take a look at Lycomings Tech article titled "Look What They're Doing
To Our Engines". It gives their point of view, which as expected is don't do
anything that they haven't approved.

I'm sure Lycon will be at OSH. They are always well represented via the
airshow performers and play well to their target audience.
