I don't know if you guys found this yet but apparently a guy is working on putting a 230 hp Mercury Outboard in his Acro Sport.
Mercury Outboard Conversion for an Aircraft, Part 2 | EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
I find this interesting, because as we know aircraft engines cost an arm and a leg. So do outboards in my opinion considering what they typically go on, but that is not for this forum. I have yet to read part 1, but this is for sure interesting. It looks like there are quite a few hurdles to make it a viable engine option, but the potential could outweigh that. Anyway have in conclusion has anyone seen this and what do you think?
