Speed?
the 3300 will weigh more, go faster and climb better.
I guess I'm kinda mystified why anyone would be interested in building an LSA category aircraft and be concerned about going faster? Speed is not a design mission by LSA developers. Weight is for sure because it decides how much you can carry. Fuel efficiency is because it decides how long you can fly. Poor efficiency and you pay with fuel weight. As a rule, speed doesn't help fuel efficiency either. The use of Bing carbs (Rotax and Jabs) do not maximize fuel efficiency. At altitude both will reveal awful EGT's. Ross (RV6ejguy) has developed beautiful injection systems to replace both...at reasonable prices. I'm certain that Rotax and Jabiru both are satisfied with Bing since they both produce much better fuel burn than most American counterparts. To inject them would make a great product even better (always has). Better would mean more weight available and that's a worthy goal.
