Trent, thank you for the profile videos of some of your friends aircraft, I'm really enjoying them. Any chance you could do a comprehensive profile on the Freedom Fox? I would love to hear your opinion on the 915 after 4 years of running it, and numbers you're seeing in all the different types of flying you've been doing. I'm also curious about the maintenance over the last 4 years on the 915. Thanks again for your fantastic videos!!!

@craigsanders6925 Год назад

I had an R1 motorcycle with a similar engine design, most of them were on the track at high RPM's and the valves were in spec when checked at 20,000 miles. That motor isn't stressing at 8500 and it's reasonably quiet with the right exhaust. With a full exhaust system and a dyno tune my stock motor made 180 Hp.

Friend of mine has Slepcev Storch STOL. He swaped normaly used Rotax 912 with Yamaha motorcycle engine. You could change gears mid air to reduce engine RPM. Result was 150hp instead of 90hp Rotax had, while consumption fell from 18 to 8 liters compared to Rotax.

@Kalimerakis Год назад

Imagine using a motorcycle engine with the gears, as far as I understand you could trim for low speed performance at takeoff and just shift up for cruise. This should work until the blade tips start to hit transsonic/supersonic speeds. But also it would allow for much lower engine RPM at cruise reducing fuel-burn.

@Captndarty Год назад

Terrible idea. That’s what a constant speed propeller is for.

@whitetrashgarage8110 Год назад

It's been tried before... If it was a good idea, there would be more of them.

@oneninerniner3427 Год назад

@thebentley71 Год назад

Nissan's ZEOD RC is a 3 cylinder engine 1.5 liter turbocharged direct injection I believe. It puts out 400 h.p. & 300 ft lbs of torque. The entire engine & accessories weighs 88 lbs with turbocharger exhaust everything. It's dry sump. Check it out it would we great for airplanes. It was made for the 24 hrs car race, so it's very durable & reliable.

Just as all us Rotax 912 fliers finally get the legacy engine guys to quit calling it "a snowmachine engine," the Yamaha conversion comes along! We also got them, the legacy engine crowd, kinda used to high RPM's, like 5,000 or so, the Yamaha is going to blow their minds!

@flyingeden Год назад

Makes me want to drop more $$$ on mods for mine, beautiful aircraft!

@CS_247 Год назад

Interested to know what the TBO is on that Yamaha screamer. Certainly got some power, but boy does it turn fast. Would turboing the engine allow it to operate at a more reasonable RPM? Beautiful build there tho, just loving these Kitfoxes.

@scottwhite2379 Год назад

These motors are detuned r1 engines. They operate most of their life from 6 to 9000rpm and when fun, they run all you want, as designed, wot at 10800 on pump gas. I have 24,000mls on mine, not uncommon to go twice that with only a valve adjustment. They make a lower rpm, lighter version 3 cylinder 130hp version as well.

@TheOwenMajor Год назад

The idea that RPM = bad, comes from the fact GA is used to flying engines designed in the 1940's. Back in the 40's, RMP was bad. That's because they were using pushrod engines, with crummy valves, all designed by hand with slide calculators. Now 80 years later, we have much better technology.

@aurtisanminer2827 Месяц назад

@howardsimpson489 8 месяцев назад

@nick4506 Год назад

I'm not an airplane guy but maybe another option for a light engine is the rzr 3cilender sise by side motor. It's not integral to the transmission, and a simple output shaft. But makes the same power, comes with piston oil squirter and provisions for turbo stock. And whey less. Drag racing people are tickling 500 hp before they are breaking stuff with extreme boot pressure. so around 300 should be fine.

@whitetrashgarage8110 Год назад

The yamaha 3 cylinder engines are also being used, both N/A and turbo versions.

@oneninerniner3427 Год назад

Side by sides are twin cylinders, aren't they?
