over here.....
after looking and looking and getting scared of the engine prices...I have a question, has anybody used or heard of anyone using a BMW motorcycle engine ( 2 cylinders, opposed engine) on a ultralight/ small airplane?...Im window shopping for an engine in the 30 to 50 hp at 85 pounds of weight or less, I would love to get my grubby little hands on a Citroen C3V or a mosler engine, even a working 1/2 VW engine ( with oil pressure issues ironed out), but I have the big question mark about the BMW engine....it seems to be readily available at my local junk yard for cheap ( I would like to have the rocker cover in plain sight just for kicks).

my future project is a PIK-26, ( Im saving some cold cash for the blue prints).
