KR> BMW engine

Years ago when I was in the Army I saw some UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) which were powered by Moto guzzi motors. I think they were 750cc but may have been 850cc. The airframes were a little larger than a KR2, because they had to carry quite a bit of heavy avionic equipment, cameras,

KR> BMW engine

Why would you need the gearbox? Couldn't you just attach the propeller directly to the flywheel, or to the front of the crankshaft somehow. I have ridden BMW twins for years, and they chug along quite comfortably at 3200-3400 rpm. It seems like that would be just about right for a KR1.
