Subject: Kit Planes accident and reliability article
Hi Guys,
The October issue of Kit Planes has a fine article on accidents and
compares a rather large cross section of aircraft and engine types to
the statistical records over several years. Very good read! I was
surprised to find that automotive conversions held up better internally
than the type certified aircraft engines. Problems with automotive
conversions were mostly associated with ignition, fuel system, cooling
systems or the re-drive. When people take the time to do correct
installation and maintenance in these areas, the automotive conversion
will easily match or exceed performance and economy of the
type-certified aircraft engines.
