V-twin engines big block
Information to consider regarding the V-Twin engines, (in general). If not for weight the big block V-twins, typically 32 to 40 hp, with a redrive would power the Legal Eagle. Our final firewall forward flying weight needs to be in 90 pound area, (this weight varies on the aircraft weight) this would include engine, mounts, prop, carbs, filters, bolts, everything forward of fire wall. The small block V-twin weight fits into what we need. Question is if we can get the Hp and torque matched to a prop that will power our machine. It would be nice to build a lighter weight LEXL with allowance to mount the big block V-twin.
Back making progress with the B&S Vanguard
Been having probs with carbs but got it sorted out today. Added 2 more degrees to prop, setting at 13 degrees pitch now. Hope to get more thrust readings tomorrow

Early morning ground fog
Love the mornings and evenings here in east Texas. Getting close to mowing season with some weather on its way. Been working with Leonard Milholland on the Briggs and Stratton Vanguard 23 as a possible way to power the Legal Eagles. Check out his youtube channel for more information.
