I think the real problem with a 2si engines is parts availability. They are not supposed to be used on man carrying craft, though we all know they are. If someone insists on an inline 3 cylinder 2 stroke for aircraft, then Hirth has a couple that put out a lot of power. Still....not the best engine for a KR for the reasons Oscar mentioned.

A zippy little plane, you can Google it, but the problem is that the 2-strokes are quite a bit lighter than any of the 4-strokes that are typically employed on KRs so it would require a longer engine mount and cowling for W&B. Probably not as exaggerated as Mike Ladigo's turbine engine powered KR, but longer than a VW or Corvair mount. > > > Oscar Zuniga > > Medford, OR > _______________________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search. > Please see LIST RULES and KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html. > see http://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org to change options > To UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to KRnet-leave at list.krnet.org _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
