Just a bit of info for all us netters. Looked up the weight on Hog Air, 82Hp and 92ft lbs of torque @ 5000 rpm. It comes with a 2 to 1 reduction unit, prop hub, engine mounts, ehause. oil tank and fi unit. weighs in at 214 lbs. Yes its a hog but it sure is lighter than the vair. For giggles the 94CI puts out 110 hp and 114 torque @ 4500 rpm. Everything else is the same. They can jest about oil slicks all they want but the numbers don't sound bad either.
I myself am building a vair for my 2s and I spend lots of time looking at the board I don't do much posting just observing and taking notes as I build on and on as it seems.
