    Thanks for the info about the Honda Ridgeline engine and re-drive. I have been able to find lots of low milage Honda V6 engines but to date, I haven't heard of anyone who build a RE-drive for one. I have decided to build my Coot using a Mazda RX7 eng. and a Tracy Crook re-drive. The interesting...

    Honda V6

( J30 A , late 90's Accord )weighs approx. 260 lbs.( stripped to the essentials ) The Tracy Crook redrive that I plan to use is another 37 lbs. Add about 30 lbs of hardware for a rad. and coolant and your in the same weight range as...

Honda V6 engine with a professionally built PRSU is a viable route to...

    Cam 100 Hi Ashraf: I have read the specs. for both the CAM 100 and the 125. and they are unfortunatly not enough H.P. for what I am am wanting to do. I am looking for something in the 200 H.P. range and that's why I'm going with a 3 ltr. Honda V6. It may prove a challenge to find a redrive for...

    Hi Orion: Thanks for the reply. I have e mailed Firewall .ca and as I suspected, they are only working with 4 cylinder engines and I doubt that the PRSU they build is addaptable to a V6. They did seem to be intrigued by the idea however. I may indeed have to custom build my own PRSU and that...

    Hi All : I"m Reg from the Ottawa Valley; up here in Canada ( eh! ) I've been wanting to build an aircraft of some sort since I joined EAA way back in the early 80's, but a career in the militaty as a flight engineer has kept me from doing so. I knew it would have to wait untill retirement. That...
