To pick up on the 2 cylinder engine discussion, for those that might
be interested, I have been test flying a direct drive, v-twin Generac
industrial engine (generators, weed cutters, etc), with 38 peak hp, on
my Thunder Gull. There are others flying with re-drive versions, as
well as some Briggs, Kohler and Honda efforts too. All this is
discussed on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Small4-strokeEngines/.

I did a series of reports on my development and testing there. Search
thru the old messages on "Generac" for my reports. Sorry, I don't want
to repeat any of that here, so I am back to lurk mode.

Regards,
Jerry Booker
