Mention has been made that the RV-9-A was originally built with an O-233 O-235 based motor that was pulled from a Cesna 152, at around 118HP.
I am well aware that most build their RV-9 with an O-360 or perhaps an O-320, and you will come across builds with the O-233 or O-235 for sale every now and then.
My curiosity is about what kind of performance, hypothetically, that could be expected out of a RV-9A with a 130 HP fuel injected 4 cylinder engine with about 214 Cubic inches that will run on MoGas Premium, and estimated 75% power cruising speeds.
Thoughts?
