Overpowering an existing aircraft is the easiest way to achieve higher performance (with enough power anything will fly faster!), but this requires a lot of fuel for acceptable endurance, and is an expensive, heavy, and inefficient way to obtain good cruise performances; it also does not provide good slow flight characteristics or payload due to the heavier engine-weight and fuel load requirement.

While all aircraft are designed within certain power and engine weight guidelines, Chris Heintz does not design his aircraft "around" a particular engine - to maximize customers' choice of powerplant. Recommended power for the Zodiac CH 640 is 150 to 220 horsepower, up to 400 lbs. installed weight. |
