    Avid Mk4 repower

    I had considered both a jabiru and direct drive ' dub. Looking for that thrust, though. Ideally hoping to operate from the meadow out back of my house and fly to work at the airport. Speed is less important. I saw Great Plains lists their redrive weight at a short 18 pounds. Granted you are...

    Avid Mk4 repower

    Looking for suggestions. I was just given an Avid Flyer mk4. It wears a 2 stroke Rotax, not sure if 532 or 582, but irrelevant. 2 stroke is a no go for me. I wanted to repower 4 stroke, and the only answer I keep getting from folks is a 912. Since they cost as much as my house, thats not an...

    Tractor engine legal UL with easy folding wings?

    Currently building a LEXL which will wear a full case 45 HP Cassler motor with magneto ignition. As with any aircraft that its supposed to make 103, one must resist the temptation to add little extras. Ounces add up.. Anecdotally the U2 program is a good analog. I realise I will need to curb my...

    sea fury and C210 collison in the bay area.

    Report stated they were both on the way home from the same airshow and knew each other. This smells like formation flying gone wrong.......

    Aeronca E113B - an engine worth bringing back!

    Guys you're reinventing the wheel here. I just returned from sun n fun, and had the opportunity to see the lady at the Franklin booth. The two cylinder model makes 60 continuous hp, and can do more with a compression bump. Parts are still plentiful, and the scarcer ones are being produced...

    Direct drive SBC

    Upon deep reflection over a period of time, I will refrain from sharing any further details of my SBC development in a general fashion. I have been deeply saddened by the loss of a member of this forum who I feel was run out by the attitudes of others. I probably would not react even as well...

    Direct drive SBC

    I promise members here first whack. This needs to be sorted out quite a bit more before I share it to somebody who'll fly it on faith. I have three different direct drive versions assembled and I will need to bench run each in order to see if each will work. Two of these should, by differing...

    Direct drive SBC

    initial dyno pulls indicate 189hp @ 2800 rpm. The engine was run inverted on the stand. Pull was made at WOT and engine limited by the dyno. Don't really know what i'm doing here, but having a good time anyway.
