Hi Jim,

The F1 Cassutt racers were running 0200s at nearly 4000rpm at the time so "pumped up" possible for sure.
Pretty bog standard 0-235 in a Q felt more comfortable at sustained high cruise speeds but the law of diminishing returns still at play there.
Biggest practical difference was in useful acceleration and rate of climb from our shorter strips and ability to climb on top so more vertical than horizontal.

Gary, was the O-235 any faster than a pumped up 0200?

Just curious,

Yes, flown 2 o235 Qs, both in europe. both LS1 canard. It is perfectly doable but suggest you hang engine as far back as possible.

Anyone tried an O-235 on a Q2? I know it may be a bit heavy. Only asking because I have two hopped up ones sitting in my hangar and it sparked my curiosity
