Patience is a virtue I don't have time for!

Isn't 1330cc a bit big for a trike, better on a Gyro or Corsa?

81 Hp , 5liter per hour 1000hour TBO and as em Yanks say no substitute for cubic inches - Its not for the faint hearted , nor for the undiciplined , but for the purist who like to surround himself with only the best - as with all flying youre the pilot in command - if the shoe dont fit dont force it on , Just a thought to whet the appetite , engine has been fitted locally , presently at manufacturer for testing

Looks like a flat twin, beemer type motor.

However we are already using BMW 1150GS motors in a Trike here in CT and it is brilliant

Thanks Leprachaun!, sounds awesome and in a nick of time for the petrol price!

Any idea on weight etc?

I've got a video of one being installed and flown, looks really cool sounds mean too. Any idea of fuel and weight on this one?

Maybe my maths is not that good but 2.64 gallons per hour does not equal 5 litres per hour?

2.64 * 3.785 to get litres per hour

Sounds as close to 912 consumption as it gets :roll:

And I nearly got exited.

But I am sure Leprachaun will not for long play with his cards that close to his chest, and will tell us all about it soon.

Regards,
Arnulf
