The HKS 700 would probably work great if you can afford it. They should really call it the HK$7000. The 503 really transforms the Q1.

To the "Groupies", I have had a slight vibration in my Q200 since it was completed. I am very particular about my "bird". I have been in touch with a company that does "dynamic balancing" of the

Well, I finally worked up the guts (and hada couple of free hours due to cancelled tours at the museum) and stuck my rightwheelpant back on. It was a lot worse to think about than to do. Now all I

If I was willing to spend 7 grand on an engine, I would look very hard at the Jabiru and maybe spend a bit more for it. The weight is not much more than the HKS. And it doesn't turn 7000
