From the Frankenengine thread, the mention of the hexadyne really got my attention. Well, not immediately (since it is SI instead of CI) but a 60HP replacement for a half-VW at the same weight that does NOT involve Chinese industrial clones? Yeah, got my attention when I thought about it. So, would like a thread just for this "investigation".
First of all: who remembers anything about the engine itself?
How about the builder Hexatron Engineering and owner Cy Williams (understand now deceased)?
My understanding is that the engine was originally designed for an unmanned drone application.
What does the accumulated wisdom of HBA think the right price is, was and should be?
I would have KILLED for such an engine when I was building airboats (VERY light weight commercial airboats powered by mostly 503 Rotax). Sadly, this thing came over 10 years after I built my last boat.
