Hello Kitfox builders,
Can anyone tell me if a GreatPlanes VW engine can be used in any of the Kitfox models. This is a 85 to 95 hp engine. I will try to post some pictures of the engine and prop.
Thanks,
John
Great Plains Aircraft Supply’s 1915cc reduction drive airplane engine (www.greatplainsas.com (http://www.greatplainsas.com/)). It has the Valley Engineering 1.6:1 reduction drive, the Great Plains type one accessory package (20 amp alt, high torque starter, Diehl case, and Bosch 009 distributor), and the Besse Aircraft intake with a Holley 350cfm carburetor. Ignition system included is the Compu-Fire (Dis-IX) 60,000+ Volts and an unopened box of (Red) 7mm Pertronix Flame Thrower wires. The ground adjustable Powerfin 72” type F propeller (strongest Powerfin makes) is also included. This engine was professionally built and is balanced to less than 0.5 grams (very smooth running engine).
