Hal, the thing I have observed about aviation during my 40 yrs around it is that most involved can make it as exspensive as possable. The original idea of a VW...

I use a starter off old chyrsler 3-4 cly outboards. They usually sell for $35. It has a mount easy to fasten to. Any stareter with 2 bearings and an external...
As I understand it, a bendix can stick on, on start, go unnoticed & wreak havoc once airborne. jon ... it. Also, it is not a life threatning device on the...
How often does a bendix hang up on your car? They all have one. My belt drive does not. But that was not the reason I did it. It is because it requires no...
I don't think you comprehend how they work. The starter cannot hang up in the air, unless you engage it in the air. Its more likely to fail to engage. Dick ......
The bendix problem is not an old or new, they just can fail any moment, mostly is a problem of lube or inside tolerances that makes them fail. Something out ...
... Here's a picture and some part numbers of the starter Dick uses: http://outboardparts.com/chrysler/mall/starters.htm The 5551 or the 5393 are the deals you...

Just to elaborate a bit, the Continental 0-200 has either a pull start or a key start internal clutch. When either break up usually due to poor maintenance,...

Dick, Thanks for your contributions to the AirVW list! I've been becoming interested in trikes lately, as an interesting possibility for high fun/$ flyiing....
Has anyone had any experience with the E-Mag or P-Mag as described here?: http://www.emagair.com/Intro.htm I've been considering an all electronic ignition...
I wouldn't go with this particular system, me. * They've been pretty open about their failures, and since most VWs only use one magneto/ignition system, I...
Looking for a Mosler 82X ignition module. Or an equivalent. Anyone know where I can get one? I was told that a Honda dealer might have a compatable one, but...
Mike, I use a Props Inc. 60X28 birch prop on my Avid Mk IV. I also have a Mosler 82X (2165cc). I get 3000 rpm static. They are available through aircraft...
I just came into an engine with about 150 hrs total on it. It was built in the 1980s from a parts list that monnet used to supply. Built by cb eng . It has a...

This problem is due to an obviously poor design by continenlal. Some engines used the E80 starter which has a dog engagment which faired better. These are the...
Dick, Turns out that when I said "I don't think that you comprehend possible bendix sticking start scenarios", I had no idea who I was talking to, little bit...
I ran my Type IV three times this weekend. It sounded good. I noticed on the third run that the prop was not tracking correctly. Today, I pulled the prop and...
Regarding a VW with the prop on the flywheel end and applying this to a Teenie Two... I would think impossible only because of weight and balance. The engine...
DO NOT attempt to fly or for that matter ground run your Type 4 engine until you get this fixed! I had a Type 4 in a Sonex and with 100 hrs on the tach, the...
