Your right, it's direct drive. I'm maxing out at 3200 rpm. The motor is bored/stroked to 2180cc and is supposed to kick out 70 - 80hp @3200. It's never been dyno'd but the plane's performance seems to be spot on for these hp #'s. This is the only aircraft of it's type (Rans S6) that's flying with this engine. I had to create a motor mount, cowling, and all engine systems (intake/exhaust/etc..)
It's a blast to fly and only burns about 4 gals/hour. It's kinda funny building an engine that needs to develop all it's power at 3k, most of the hp tricks we all know and love are useless down that low. |
