Aircraft certified motor vehicle engines. Is there a niche for them

Have some respect for our gliding friends we all share the same airspace we should all train in gliders first

I was one of them. Learned to fly a glider when powered flight was beyond my financial reach.

Now you can pick up a little aeroplane for a tiny fraction of the price of a sailplane.

Most of them would have to put their reading glasses on first....

It my end up like that place in the UK that wrote "P1ss off Biggles" on the roof to ward off aircraft, but increased traffic as the went closer to read it.

I just read the sales blurb for the new BMW R1250 Boxer engine. Apparently variable valve timing has led to an increase in "sovereignty".

 

So, take a big displacement motorcycle engine that already needed a bunch of electronics to keep the operator safe from themselves and ... and ... add more complexity? Ugh!

 

My Victory Highball isn't doing much nowadays. 100hp simple v twin tech. 6 speed. Peak power at 4800. Just add a belt driven propeller and fine tune by selecting 4th 5th or 6th ?

Wasn't it the giraffe which said "the High balls are on me" ? Nev
