There are a few 170 cc, twin apposed engines on the market, that can put out
near 18-hp ; and only weigh under 10-Lb's, (add a bit, for a reduction) and E-start.
My Exxtacy glider will fly quite nicely on that hp rating, with good
climb at sea- level ; won't be enough at 5,500 ASL though.
SO the question is :
Would a bit of Nitrous + water , help keep my hp at 6k ASL ? I don't want
more hp ; just want to keep the hp, for what the engine was rated for, at sea
level , (when i'm at a higher elevation) ?
