Can anyone identify this engine, I thought it to be either a Hirth or HKS but cannot find one with the same smooth crank housing.
Make and HP would be nice as the plane owner does not know either
Thanks
Francois

LOL nice one Bundy I see you super sharp again today, i would just like to find out what motor this is though as i have never seen one like this, i can see it is a four stroke as there is a oil filter on the sump but it does not look like a dual ignition as it only looks like a single spark plug on the cylinder head. The owner says all he can see is the number 532 on the bottom of the engine but this could just as well be a casting number. The fact that it also does not use any reduction gearbox is interesting and that is why i would like to know the make and HP and RPM of this engine

It's not a Verner, Hexadyne (very close resemblance), UL, UtraVair....

... ek dink dis 'n EMD air enjin Ek het self een gekoop vir my VP2 maar nooit gebruik. Denel het destyds van daai enjins ingevoer vir 'n projek, maar nooit gebruik. Ongeveer 82hp, maar kon geen kontak maak met die fabriek - George Joubert
I received an e-mail from George and inserted his thoughts above
