I'm building a JDT Himax, single seat high wing wood and fabric aircraft. I'm planning on putting a 477 Rotax engine as recommended by the plans. However, I was driving around town yesterday and I heard a Harley drive by me and though, "What a great sound!" I only need a 40 hp engine and don't really know what size Harley engine use. Or is this a stupid idea and I need to get my head examined just for thinking about it. :lick: That do you think? Has anyone used a Harley engine for an airplane (320lbs empty, 560lbs gross)?
