Are you saying the RV2300 has more power (at 85hp?) but more or less the same weight as the RV2100, right? What's the cost for that? Are there any used 2300 engine out there? Thanks, Dr. Hsu On Thu, Sep 17, 2020, 12:42 AM Patrick Panzera wrote: > You can't go wrong with a Revmaster R-2300. It'

You can't go wrong with a Revmaster R-2300. It's a direct bolt-in replacement, you can have it swapped out in a day, no new engine mount, no mods to the cowl or firewall, but you'll need a new prop to manage the power increase. Keep the Ellison, put the Revflow on the engine you have and sell it,

Thanks Luis. So I guess the engine weight with oil (assume 5 qt) would be no more than 175 lb, perhaps...The weight to power ratio is not as good as I thought it would be on this WV engine. Am wondering what's the best engine on the market that is reliable and has the best weight to power ratio? D

Thanks Pat for the insights about the Jabiru engine. I looked through the various posts regarding the reliability issue of the engine, I would probably pass up on my thinking about the Jabiru engine Two cases of lossing props in flight, it is a bit too much to trust on the engine performances.

The weights should be nearly identical. The questions then remain, will the prop station be similar and will the location of the center of gravity be similar enough between engines to not adversely affect CG of the plane. Seat of the pants tells me it should work without much difficulty. Consider

I was wondering if anyone knows the weight of a Revmaster2100D engine? I am thinking of replacing it with a Jabiru 3100 engine (believe its 120hp?), and want to know the trade offs, in terms of gaining empty weight and horse power (lift)...? Stay safe & fly high! Dr. Hsu On Wed, Sep 16, 2020, 7:
