    Suzuki geo .1.3 Lt car engines are popular in gyros and some planes. They have been used for years. Proven very reliable.

    The aircraft version is smoothed out by the counterweight

    Probably the only way to get enough blade area to absorb the power. Imagine the size of a 2 blade on. 2000 HP turbo prop

    The one I saw a photo of was on a pod mounted electric motor that folded away behind the cockpit. Might have been a giant scale model too.

    i agree nothing is perfect. but 912s are pretty close. and it is true bert used to fly up to my friend's place occasionally.

    whats being mates with bert flood got to do with it. bert flood used to fly up to a mate of mines place occasionally so i guess he is an expert too. rotax 9 series are a fantastic reliable engine no matter how much you try to convince us they are not.

    what is the best prop for cruise and top speed. i always believed 2 blades to be more efficent than 3 and 4 blades. i am talking fixed pitch or ground adjustable.

    i doubt that he would have done that unless at safe recovery height.

    bmw are good candidates because its easy to adapt a gearbox to them.

    can you even work on a certified aircraft.
  23. BrendAn
    i can. i have seen one that still passes leakdowns at 3600 hrs and performs as good as it ever did. i know of honda outboards with over 10,000 hrs . cat c16 diesels that clock up 50,000 hrs in road trains.
