Hi!
I am a complete newbie regarding planes. Engine work I can do.
I am interested in building an RW6. I know pert near nothing about them. I haven't talked to anyone that has one flying. All I know is what Roger has on his site.
It says it can handle a 1/2 VW. It doesn't say for sure if it will be Part 103 compliant with that engine. I would sure like to know before I commit to it.
Actually, I am thinking of using a 24-26 hp Onan aluminum block 60 cu in engine. There exists goodies to hop these up somewhat, I know the tractor pullers have used this engine for quite a while. I was imagining something like 30 hp maybe. I think the setup is lighter than a 1/2 VW, but I'm not sure about any of this.
I would really like to correspond with someone flying a similar plane, guess it doesn't have to be a RW6.
I'd like to chat with anyone familiar with the Onan. I am not. Neither do I have one.
But I don't have a 1/2 VW either!
If I had an engine I could go flying if I had a plane if I was a pilot.
I'm about to retire and am thinking this would keep me off the streets.
thanks
