Bob,
The reason they say "United Kindom" rather than "England" is that England
is not alone. There is also Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to think
about.
US engines are available throughout Europe. They are seldom used in small
experimentals, because they cost an arm and a leg to buy and to maintain,
and are not fuel efficient. The Rotax, and now the Jabiru, are more
popular. In France, you also find a lot of certified modified VWs (the
Limbach).
Althoug since the British pound is now very high and the dollar so weak,
it might be time for our UK fellows to go shopping.

This message is for all of you builders in England or as most of you
say the United Kingdom.
Have any of you considered using an engine designed and proven for
aircraft. A few builders here have and they are using the Continental
O-200. The engine is rated at 100 horse power and will move a KR-2 or
KR-2S like a jet. There is one for sale on Barnstormers. here is the URL
http://www.barnstormers.com/cat.php The price is $6,500.00 but the seller may
come down a bit. I have no
idea what the price for shipping to wherever you live in the UK. Since
there are American manufactured aircraft already in the UK, these engines
may be available there.
