Georden

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on using a 4 stroke snowmobile engine in a light helicopter? They are lightweight, high power, and meant to be run at high power setting all day. I'd image tbo would be rather short, but a personal helicopter likely won't see many hours a year so it's not a huge issue.
Searched the auto conversion forum and the only downside pointed out was need for a Psru, but for a helicopter a gearbox is needed for any engine used, so not so much of an issue.
