    Joe, I went to high school with Joey Floyd. A character indeed. I'm not familar with the 670, I assume it's in line power wise with the 582? Is it water cooled? While I would like to get more cruise speed for better cross country trips, I don't want to do it at the expense of increased fuel use. (besides a new motor is way out of my budget) I'd like to look into streamlining my wing struts, and maybe going with smaller/skinny-er tires. I'm sure Shane (Phantom pilot) would like to get together, he's actually alot closer to you than I am. We'll have to start planning a fly in sometime soon.

    If Homer could have know that I was worried about keeping up with that 503 powered Phantom with that big shiney composite prop, he'd have chuckled. I'm sure. John Tempest Firestar 1 447 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=346488#346488

    Hey John T. The 670 is the Big Brother to the 618, Water Cooled, Rave Valves, and it has a Rotatory Valve like the 582 has... The HP depends on what Exhaust you use..... If you use the 582 Exhaust you can get over 70 HP, but if you use a 618 Exhaust you can push it up around 100 HP... There is a Guy from around Charlotte that has a 670 turning a 72" Prop on a Phantom, This Guy even does Outside Loops, and it is unbelievable..... He has several video's on You Tube... Just Search (Super Phantom Ultralight)... My 670 has places for two Trigger Coils so I will make it Dual Ignition.... We have found a company that has copied the 618 Exhaust and we can have them made for a reasonable price........ The Beauty of this set-up is that you can cruise at a much lower RPM, and use less gas and make less noise, and of course your putting less stress on the Engine.... Here is a Picture of a 670 on a Quicksilver that a friend of mine has... His name is Rotax Rick, and he sells alot of these Engines..... He has some Tundra Tires that I sell on Barnstormers on his Quicksilver........

    Subject: Firefly: new build?
    I'm planning my future Firefly build (within a year, hopefully) and wonder if anyone knows: 1. What is the weight of a Firefly newly assembled from the two kits, sans instruments, lighting, covering and engine? 2. What is the minimum HP required for a "safe-feeling" climb rate and 150' liftoff with a 200lb pilot? Will 30HP do it (CRE MZ-34 or Simonini Mini 2S )? What about 33HP / 36HP (Simonini Mini 2 Evo or Mini 3)? 3. What advantages does a 2-blade ground-adjustable prop have over 3-blades ? My previous Twinstar of 22 years ago had the 66" wooden 2-blade. So far I 've been told "less vibration". 4. How much does the nose cone weigh and what is it made of? As you can see , my Twinstar had no nose, canopy or windshield (pic taken in 1988): http://phactor.com/i/FredFlintstoneBrakes.jpg Thx! Phil H. - -
