Just as a matter of interrest, has anyone ever tried to program a PLC for engine management ?

PLC's are common in millitary aircraft to perform other functions, hence reliabillity should not be a concern,

and you can program it to do whatever you wish.

I see the BMW k 75s uses a bosch jettronic ,and yes , it has three cylinders.

I think the honda vfr 750f is a good candidate as well, compact v4 capable of high revs if you want to go with a redrive.

Sleeping pill in a piece of wors did it for me.

Pooch slept for two days, owner k@k'd herself, after that, doggy slept inside !!

Too late !

Johan Stemmet did it some years back, called it "fly the beloved country".

Even filmed it.

Ek sal daai beer mos BL!KS&M

Can anybody enlighten me on the licence needed to fly a homebuilt helicopter ?

Is it a class on it's own like the gyro, or do you need to do a propper chopper licence ?

I've seen this being used in go-cart type vehicles, but they seem to be very ineffective.

Modified turbo ?

Koenie, with the figures you quoted, this does not look like underpowerred to me.

Looks perfect !!

Just a question on the under power issue,

I see you have a substansial reduction ratio,

can it be that you are simply be running out of usable RPM ?

The 2ct is 62 KW and 123NM, don't remember the RPM though. Just curious, where'd he go with the radiator ? If you want more power from the 2CT, you may want to concider increasing the turbopressure, wich will require recalibration of the pump for maximum efficiency, and maybe an intercooler. The tur...

Wat is HP van die toyotatjie.... Hoe grrot is prop Wat is reduction ratio? Nou dis nou hier wat ek gaan regop sit en LUISTER !!! IMHO dis wringkrag wat 'n prop draai en nie drywing nie, 'n twee liter volla motor wat so om en by 150 nm lewer by 2500 opm is voldoende om 'n prop direk te dryf. Ter wil...

Boet, aangesien jy turbo wil gaan, het jy die vortex tipe superchargers oorweeg ? Aangesien dit so groot soos een helfte van 'n standaard turbo is, en jy nie 'n gietyster uitlaat nodig het nie, kan dit meer gewig efektief wees, en jy het druk van aansit af, in teenstelling met die turbolag wat jy me...

After everyone left this afternoon, I pot "legs" on the Yaris engine, so it can stand upright, so we can get to know each other on a better eye-level. There is much work here, and a LOT to figure out, like the radiator inlet. (Or is it outlet??) That is moerse in the way of where, in my mind`s eye,...
