As an alternative source, Great Plains also has the aluminum cylinders. But you end up with a 2300 VW engine when you are done. Not sure what you would do with the extra power. :) I think if I was

Mike, the quest for lightness is a good path. Take super care in building. Resist the temptation to add a little extra here and there. I have never had a starter and that saves both starter and

Mike I think the J2200 is good for 3200rpm and the J3300 is OK for 3200 continuous. Peter _____ From: Q-LIST@... [mailto:Q-LIST@...] On Behalf Of Mike Perry Sent:

If you look at the Revmaster Aviation web site, you will find that the alternator is built into the flywheel on all of their products. The weight of the 2100D is 165 lbs including the starter and dual

Mike: In your "save weight ideas" you mentioned a starter. No starter weighs 100% less than a starter. Plenty of folks hand prop little engines. Replace your wheel bearings with ceramic

I talked to Scott. He said that this is a problem that can show up with any composite gear over time. He said that there was only one choice, other than making a new one: Sand down the gear Pull them

Have a small hot water source, keep instant decaf, black and grean tea bags, plus some packs of hot chocolate. You won't need much of each..... Reggie
