Just thought I would add my 10 cents worth. I have had some time in XP's, but more in the Reims FR172E with 210+ horses. This would really get off the ground in very short time fully laden, but no real speed increase over Normal 172 of that era. The main downfall of both the XP and Reims was the fuel consumption and cost of overhauls. Give me a Lycoming any day. Cheers from Down Under
