Subject: | Re: Dynamic Air Pressure Filter Housing |
In the 1960s I flew Mooneys a good bit and really liked a couple of their unique
features. One was the "poor man's supercharger" that came standard on the early
Mooneys. It was a pilot controlled RAM AIR scoop that by-passed the air-cleaner
and sent RAM AIR directly to the carburetor inlet. At typical cruise speeds
(160 mph or so) it added about 1" of manifold pressure. It was to be used
only at altitude of course where un-filtered air was not a problem... at least
not back then.
At the Kolb's much slower speeds you want see this much assist but any assist at
all is worthwhile when you are pinching pennies.

Got a strange engine today:
New in box. New wood propeller. Prop is 48" x 22. Engine labeled
Chrysler Power Bee model 82026. Single cylinder, dual carb, 2 cycle. Carbs are
Tillotsons with built on fuel pumps. Belt redrive labeled CGS Powerhawk.
Engine and redrive weigh about 20 lbs together. Some of the spec sheets are
dated 1978, and show how to mount on an Easy Riser. A tag on the engine
says it was test run to 90 pounds thrust.
Anyone know the history on this engine? And........this is off the
wall..........how would it work on a Kolb UltraStar?
Do not archive.

Masqqqqqq, It's a go kart engine, about 8 or 9 HP. I had a Soarmaster power
pack for my hang glider with one in the mid 70's. When the supply of Mac 101
engines, the original engine used by John Moody and CGS, everyone switched
to the West bend. If it matches the one I had you can expect a 50 to 60 fpm
climb rate. If you got it cheap, try it. You'll get some taxi practice at
the least.

It would definitely not be adequate for an UltraStar, unless you used two
of them, and even then it'd be marginal... I believe the original Kolb
Flyer used these engines before switching to 15HP Solo 210 engines. I
remember sending away to Chrysler for the data sheets back in the day, when
I started building a Lazair-like ultralight (never finished) while on
summer vacation from college. IIRC, the Chrysler (also known as the West
Bend) engine was only about 9HP continuous.
Single cylinder, dual carb? That's weird... perhaps it was hopped up to
get more horsepower; 9HP is pretty marginal to fly with.
