Great job guys! But how about we strap a 40% extra under each wing and glide them back down

**TrojanMan** · 08-15-2007, 04:46 PM

AWESOME!

Have you thought about how you're going to anchor that thing to run it up before a flight? 10 guys pulling on a rope

???

Sensei's Biotch · 08-15-2007, 05:19 PM

Thanks guys for all the feed back. I think we will be done with everything this weekend and hopefully run the engine. We are not to worried about the engine because we had the company run and tune it for us. They put 10 gallons of gas through it so we feel confident about the engine. We would just like to hear it run for a few minutes. As for the cooling, we bought the rear cooling unit that goes on the back of the engine. It is 2 fans that are belt driven by the back of the crank and everything is enclosed around the cylinders. When the engine turns, the fans turn and push air through the four cylinders so we don't feel cooling will be an issue.
Thanks again for the support.
9 days and counting down. We will keep you posted.

Looks great, that engine is off the chain!! BTW if you don't have enough hp let me know and I'll see what I can work out, maybe we can put one of our Hendrick butt kick'in engines in it, 800hp baby!!

Potential Snap-A-Saurus winner? Do you have the guts?

jfstrama · 08-15-2007, 05:57 PM

Hey,

I'm stuck here in the Missouri Heatwave, How much would I have to pay to be there to video the maiden and then deny I ever saw it and tell everyone it was all a hoax?

Honest, there is always somebody with bigger and better, but I think you guys have topped it PERMANENTLY!

Ya the question is what color is the sticker going to be ????

i3dm · 08-15-2007, 07:34 PM

This is truly amazing !!

In the ARAVA airshow in Israel this year we had the swiss aerobatic team with:
1. 90% 1-800 pitts - 1000CC engine.
2. 70% Shrike commander - TWO 1000CC engines !
3. 70% Raven - 1000CC engine.

Truly a site to behold when one of these takes to the air !

Artie Johnston · 08-15-2007, 08:26 PM
