Folks,
I am building a Flitzer Goblin and am interested in installing a flywheel drive VW (probably 2180). Because the standard starter ring won't fit without a radical reshaping of the bullet-nose cowling (which would kill the charm of the aircraft), I hoping to install the starter on the pulley end. In the HBA Conversations section I asked Pops about this. He said it should be possible, but he is not aware of anyone having done it.
Have any of you?
Thanks
