    Teenie Two (maybe)?

    The bed type mount is perfect for the VW, but the 503 at proper thrust line sticks up through the cowling like a model A on a Pietenpol. Running plugs down (as decided) needs a lot more room than the 11"provided by the motor box kit. radial engine mounts have been used all the Hummels at...

    Teenie Two (maybe)?

    Not a Teeny two. Its a Hummel U/C with a Rotax 503 instead of the VW. FWF is all on me as well. Certainly not an easy or straightforward task. I would have used the VW, but for the price of a new one. I already had the zero hours 503.

    Private landing strip question

    Many out there should consider themselves fortunate to live in a portion of our country where a landing strip is even possible. around here a pair of floats is the best option.

    Forgotten engine: the GM X-250

    Yes, I believe so. Zundapp may have made one as well. a "twingle" was sold under the Allstate name by Sears Roebuck many years ago. I remember it being Quite Torquey for a compact engine.

    Anglin J3 Kitten to Hipps J3 Kitten design changes?

    The Anglin Kitten weighed 250 pounds and qualified for part 103. The Hipps versions I have seen would not. after all it was intended to be an ultralight.

    Anglin J3 Kitten to Hipps J3 Kitten design changes?

    It is my understanding that Hipps acquired rights to the design after a lawsuit, and that it was subsequently altered.

    Anglin J3 Kitten to Hipps J3 Kitten design changes?

    I have owned an Anglin Kitten from the early 80's in my opinion it was superior in both design and materials tom the Hipps knockoff.
