    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.
