You may be correct, a Velocity may be too heavy for the EG-33. The empty weight on my Glasair is only 1275 pounds.

Wow, glad you were able to get it all back together and back in the air. Got to love experimental - incidents like that are so much easier to fix than the certified world. My club had a 172 involved in a hard landing a couple years ago - prop strike, wrinkled firewall, etc. Repair estimate was $62,000 (CAD). We ended up with a new plane.

Is your radiator door actuator airspeed controlled?

The Velocity SE's come in around that weight range and most are IO-360 powered, so an EG33 would be a perfect powerplant for them. The XL's, particularly the RG variant, come in anywhere from 1800-2000 lbs depending how tricked out the builder makes it.

What sort of fuel burn and MPG do you see in your plane?
