Here's a correspondence with a Czech Republic gentleman named Mr. Tinka who as hundreds of hours on his Briggs and Stratton V-Twin 23 hp: Dear Sir, I am not...
I'll wait to see how reliable this version of the Aixro engine is. The only serious previous attempt to develop this engine for aircraft use by Phantom ...
Has anybody considered the Honda industrial engine for the SD1? They are similar in size, configuration and power to the B & S and some years of experience...
Thanks Greg- Very insightful.. With the success of the Mazda rotary, and the demo's of the RotaMax which looked pretty functionally successful, you would think...
Great detective work Greg. Sure enough, the "Rotron" is base on an Aixro Wankel from Germany: "Paul Woelfle from AIXRO in Germany, had already designed a large...
Is anyone working on converting one of the new B&S XRD V-Twin vertical motors for horizontal use (they apparently do not offer the motor in a horizontal...
What's completely nuts is this motor with a direct-drive implement is essentially taking "prop strikes" all day long yet has a TBO in the thousands of hours....

It's starting to look like the Vanguard 23 hp is proven and effective. I'm definitely going to install it on my first SD-1. Of course, I'm going to keep are...
