Eric - in Michigan do not archive Time: 10:29:40 AM PST US Subject: Tailwind-List: Alternative Engines. From: Fred Weaver --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Fred Weaver Now come on Eric.... I'm generally a good sport about that subject. We simply didn't agree that the Buick you wanted to install was the best idea for a "reliable, trouble free" engine. It all comes down to two kinds of builders.. the ones that want to actually fly and enjoy their airplane and the ones that want to tinker, repair, fix, mend etc.. instead of fly. I'm not knocking any other powerplants, just the Buick/Olds thing. Jerry Hey is working on the Rotary setup and it's looking good. I hope it works so others can give it a whirl too. The Subaru has had some hiccups in Glastars and others but I'm hopeful that someone will be succesful and finish the recipe. My attitude or opinion is straightforward enough for even a dental guy to understand. If you want to fly to Wisconsin from California or to Oregon from Florida, you would be wiser to choose a Lycoming to sit up front. Then you actually arrive when you thought you would.

Jim Mcculley is in the process of modifying his to Lyc 0-360 and i think he monitors this site. We recently sold a Cont 0-360 that went into an RV-6 and performing well.

Better check the weight, the O-300 is heavy and the O-360 is heavier, might be longer too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Re: Alternative engines > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: > > On Thu, 26 Dec 2002 06:49:48 -0800 (PST) Eric Schlanser > wrote: > > > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Eric > > Schlanser > > > > > > See, I told you so... > > > > Eric - in Michigan > > > > do not archive > > > > Time: 10:29:40 AM PST US > > Subject: Tailwind-List: Alternative Engines. > > From: Fred Weaver > > > > -Hi Group, > An alternate engine I might consider is the Continental IO 360.
