Hi guys,
There's a fine article in Kitplanes this month on the engine
failure/accident rate for aircraft engines as compared to automotive
engines. The piece does put
a decent focus on problems with cooling, re-drives, and ignition systems
(not so much the engines themselves). Though, I would have liked to have
seen failure
rates of re-drives taken by geared versus belted, the article does say
without saying that you need to know what serves your automotive engine
conversion best.
One redeeming chart does show that after 200 hours, long term, automotive
conversion failure rates are less frequent than the standard aircraft type
engines.

Larry -
Thanks for sharing.
I find the part about post 200 hour engines really interesting. On the surf
ace this would seem to indicate that after 200 hours that the kinks get wor
ked out (one way or another).
I know on my 601HDS, now that I'm approaching 200 hours, any of the issues
that you weren't sure about either have surfaced or haven't become an issue
(by the way, I'm flying behind a 3300A Jabiru). I'd bet the 200 hour mark
is also a major safety mark of improvement for experimental airplanes in ge
neral.

Hey Larry -
What month is this article from via KitPlanes? I took a look at Feb. 2011,
Jan 2011, and Dec 2010 and can't find it ... Signed up for their digital su
bscription - pretty nice being able to access all the old issues - got some
reading to do!
Thanks,
Don

Don,
This was the February 2011 issue, Page 28 entitled "Safety is no accident"
by Don Wanttaja.
With 165 hours, my Stratus Subaru may get into the "safer zone" by 2012 J.
