--> Stratus-List message posted by: Michael Heit <rmrlpfm@centurytel.net>
Thanks Gary, Mykal is a great guy too, really knows those soobs inside
and out. I knew him from NSI when I was out there building an Avid
Magnum. Was going to put an NSI EJ-22 in it but ended up using an O-360
in it. NSI was good at details, but their gear box sucked .... left me
in a no power situation in Montana in a Kitfox .. landed on a rural dirt
road .... the drive shaft int eh gear reduction unit was trashed ....
and Lance at NSI was a cockroach. Other than that, was a good engine. I
hated the Ellison throttle body. If I had it to do over again, would
have gone with the Stratus conversion. It is lighter, more reliable. Are
you flying a Stratus engine? EA-81??

yes, and I'm really happy with it. There were a handful of engines that
dropped some valve guides so a lot of guys (including me) had the heads
reworked just to be safe, and a few cracked engine mounts on the Zenith
version but overall I think there are a lot out there that have held up
really well.
Still flying the Magnum? Nice plane, must be a real workhorse with a 360 in
it.

Hmmm...Quite a few have dropped valve guides...My engine dropped
three...Ram Performance now make stepped valve guides and heat shrink
them in place.
Stratus redrive is good but I would not trust their head shop anymore.
