What a beautiful piece of work, congratulations Mr. Shilling on a significant accomplishment. And good for you, doing a few things above and beyond the average plans build.
I sure would like to know if you are happy withe the fire wall forward package you chose, what you might change. I am very interested in some performance numbers.
@fokkerguy5 Not sure what numbers you are looking for, but here is what I know. Take offs and landings can be accomplished in about 250' if light. Economy cruise at 110 mph, 4300 rpm and 19" manifold burns less than 9 gph. Can cruise faster at around 125 mph. T/O rpm 5000, 28 inches manifold. Cruise rpm 4300 feels real nice and smooth. Weight is comparable to Lyc 0-540. Subaru advertised HP for EG33 is 230. About the only thing I would do differently is use mandrel bent tubing for the intake.

Thanks for the video. Adds inspiration and motivation for my poor attempt at it.

I don't get your comment about being 70. The plane is done.
