I've been searching for info on using an HIO in a Christen Eagle, but can't find much info. All I can find are the specs and that it makes 180hp@2900 RPMs. I'm eyeballing an Eagle with one now which appears to have a Hartzell CS prop, but unsure of the model. It doesn't seem like the ideal engine/airframe combination, but I know nothing. I do know that I'd prefer more hp with my large rear end, but it wouldn't be the deal breaker. What I don't know are the cons that might be. Thoughts or experiences?
