Has anyone tried a Hirth engine in a KR?
They have up to 110 horsepower, 1,000 hour tbo. and are VERY light weight.
What are the pro's and con's to this choice?
I have a Hirth F30U engine 92Hp 101Nm torque driving through a 2.03:1 reduction
drive, total weight 52Kg
(the reduction drive gives 92Hp and approx 190Nm torque, after gear losses)
Yet to fly it, aircraft is ready, weather was not and now I have to go away for
work for a month, so further
running engine just alittle expensive.

Im sure you will have a high fuel consumption on that engine, im wondering
what it is. I bet 8GPH on the 100HP engine. 2-strokes drink gas but are
super light. It's so light you might even run into CG problems.
As far as the Jabiru goes

I still like the idea of a smooth, bullet-proof, 6 cylinder Corvair!
