Here are some more information for Continental Aircraft Engine:
For years, until the 1960's, whenever someone saw a single-engine airplane overhead they invariably referred to it as a "Piper Cub." To many the name was synonymous for "airplane." The Cub is often referred to as the aeronautic equivalent of the Ford Model T, and this is not far from the truth. In the post-war era, though, the J-3 Cub lacked the extra oomph needed to serve in its natural environment: the unimproved airstrip. So Piper considered their options, and, with an army of engineers, came up with the Piper Super Cub.
The Piper Super Cub addressed the shortcomings of the old J-3 Cub in a fashion that was analogous to Ford's improvement of the Model A with the Deuce V8. Payload capacity of the J-3 Cub was marginal at around 450 lbs. including fuel, and it couldn't carry much fuel in the small header tank anyway. The Piper Super Cub was given a much larger engine: first a 90HP Continental, then the newer four cylinder Lycoming developed during the war. From the original 108HP mill, the Super Cub quickly progressed until it was fitted with the 150HP Lycoming 0-320. This gave an increase in useful load to 820 lbs. It also meant higher fuel consumption, and the fuel was moved to two tanks in the wing roots.
This extra horsepower had several desirable effects on performance. The cruise speed increased significantly, from 65 knots to 100, and the service ceiling went up to 19,500 feet. This 7,500 foot increase in ceiling made the aircraft more useful in the west, where mountain passes can be as high as two miles. Takeoff roll was now reduced to a mere 200 feet, and the steep climb-out enabled the aircraft to depart from almost any improvised runway. Landing speed had increased with the additional weight, though, making approaches to very short fields a problem. The solution was simple: flaps. Initially a very simple flap was fitted to the rear spar behind the fuel tanks. Acting primarily as an air-brake, it allowed the plane to make very steep approaches at low speeds. This proved so successful that a proper flap was fitted between the ailerons and the cabin, improving both landing and takeoff performance.
The Super Cub could now go almost anywhere. Spray rigs were developed for agricultural purposes. Super Cubs were fitted with floats and skis, and their yellow silhouettes were soon seen across the skies of newly developed Alaska. The Super Cub could land on the smallest gravel bar or frozen lake, and was the bush taxi of choice for a generation of sportsmen and prospectors. Even today, the Super Cub is still the best aircraft on unimproved landing strips across the world.
The Piper Super Cub is the airplane of choice in Alaska, and has been modified and tested in real-life situations for over 50 years now. The Super Cub was never intended to last that long, so there has been a whole new industry that has popped up to replace parts and continue the research and development to make a plane that Bill Piper would be proud of. Yakima Aerosport of Yakima, Washington can build, service, replace, or modify anything related to your Cub. They built the Super 18 Turbo Cub and the Super Breezy and they can build something for you.
Save Money On Your Vans RV-10 with a Used Lycoming Engine
Your Vans RV-10 project is going to cost you hundreds of hours of work and presumably many thousands of dollars. Why not economize by buying used avionics and a used Lycoming engine for your Vans RV-10 project. The Vans RV-10 is one of the hottest homebuilt aircraft presently in production and anyone that has considered a kitplane knows why. The engineering is fantastic and the performance for price is unequalled. That said there are ways to do it without spending $25,000 to $40,000 by going with a used Lycoming engine from Wentworth Aircraft.
According to the Vans website, the RV-10 is spec'd for a 210-260 hp engine. The o-540 and the io-540 make the ideal engine. Find a used one at www.wentworthaircraft.com <http://www.wentworthaircraft.com> to save.

When I first started searching for homebuilt options I would have liked to find a way to get the maximum bang for my buck while still putting together a totally airworthy aircraft. Used aircraft parts, including the engine- the Lycoming io-540 for the RV10 are the easiest way to do this!

What is the top speed for a Quickie Q200 tri gear aircraft with Continental O200 engine?
I know the speed of the Q200 but not the tri gear version.
Believe the cruise is about 185mph at 6/7 gph. Don't know the VNE though.
ADD: further to that, found some bumph that shows maximum indicated airspeed as 200mph for the Tri-Q.
Hope that helps.
