Here's just a little more information on the motor.... You're not seeing it in the photos, but it's actually rear cooled. The boys installed a cooling system on it earlier in the week making baffling not necessary from what I am being told. Check out Hirth's website. These are ultralight engines:

Again, from what I am being told, the motor has already been broken in and bench tested with well over 10 gallons through her. An externally mounted electric starter will keep the pit biotches hand away from the prop as well.

All cool stuff fo sho and we wish 'em luck!. John and Jared will be in to answer your questions and post more stuff as the clock ticks.

Thanks for sharing your work with our community guys!
