None of us know what the future holds for our planes or engines. There are a considerable
number in the US and worldwide so it would make sense at some point
that a company step up to make parts for the engines to be overhauled. Many
M-14 parts can be used on the Housai. I'd just jump in, get a plane and have
fun. The community is great and the planes are fun.
As for engines...I have also thought about other radials and the options would
mostly be Jacobs because there are engines available. The R755A2 is rated 300
Hp, the R915 is rated 330 Hp and the R830 is rated 285. However, all these engines
do turn the wrong way :-) I have no idea if the dimensions of any of these
would work.
