Hi, I am in the process of trying to get an approval from the CAA in the UK to allow me to build a Skybolt with a 260hp engine. At this time the largest engine size permitted by them is a 180 hp. They have told me that they have a stress analysis report for one with a 180 hp engine and that if I could produce one for the larger engine it would help in the process. Would anyone know where I could get this report?
Also they have asked if I could get conformation of how many Skybolts are flying with 260 hp engines, the number of hours flown and the highest number of hours flown on one aircraft, particulary if that example was one used on an airshow circuit.
Any help would be very much welcome

Thanks

David
