    I hope someone will fit a 2000 hp turboprop in the legend that would be insane.

    Someone needs to drop a Rolls-Royce Merlin in one. That would be cool. I wonder how it would effect the center of gravity though. After all a radiator has to be installed too since it is liquid cooled.
    It could have your 2000 hp though. The Merlin 130/131 versions used on the de Havilland Hornet produced 2070hp. Plus the sound of a Merlin is just awesome.

    Merlin's sound amazing in have heard the sound in real life.
    But i think they are to heavy for such a small plane.

    Great plane, but it isn't pressurized, and that makes it a toy only. LancairP4 is the way to go, with the Walter engine, but one of those will set you back about 600k, but it is pressurized, and holds 4 people. Can also do stunts.

    I'll see you one Lancair IVP and raise you an Epic Escape. 365 knots will leave the Lancair pilot scratching his head and wondering what just blew by. And yes it's real, I was in the factory last week. Beautiful, fast planes in the Epic family. Of course the price isn't beautiful.
