Interesting... Aside from the belt drive, is the motor stock??? What
prop is used? Custom? At what RPM is the engine going to cruise )
It appears you plan on basically assembling Zodiac XL kits, fitting the
Harley motor to them, and selling the complete airplane.... Here, I
believe, many of us are perhaps interested in the firewall forward
package, if not just the engine and/or belt drive. What is your pricing
for those options???
I assume this will only run on 91+ octane mo-gas... do you know if 100LL
would run this baby properly? (hard to find mo-gas sometimes on cross-
countries)?
Looks really cool, and the aaahhh factor of having a Harley Plane is
hard to ignore. It will be interesting to see the long-term performance
of this baby. I'm either going to build a Zodiac XL or a Sonex...
either of which may be ideal for this type engine... I will not even
begin construction for 6 months to a year, so I will be following your
progress with interest.
