That motor is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! Looks alot lighter than the original powerplant as well. The reduction system and power plant seem to take up less of a footprint! I just wish those ailerons were a little bigger on that huge wing!

Actually it is close to the same weight as the HKS and it has to be for C/G reasons however the power to weight ratio of this power plant is far greater and no inverted oil system to deal with.

Here it is 8 o'clock in the morning, and there are 50 members and 48 guests viewing this thread! This has deservedly drawn a lot of attention. Big. Huge. Enormous. Massive. GIANT!!!
Aside of the obvious, I'm sure the underlying technology is an absolute engineering marvel. I hope to hear more details of the build and wait with great anticipation to see the first flight.

Right around 300 lbs.

You guys ROCK!!! This is an amazing feat, simply amazing.

I think I saw this bird, in a static display, at a big bird event either last year or the year before.
