Avenger R Takes to the Sky 

Yes it is a little pricey - about 14k but it is purpose designed and built to be an aircraft engine.

Think it's pricey? Compare it to a Rotax 912

That's totally true. 😁

Thanks for the detailed response ... greatly appreciated. I believe we have a mutual friend, Frank Johnson. He pointed me towards Verner a year ago for another project I was contemplating. Best of luck with your dealership. I'm anxious to see this all-aluminum single-seater you mention!

Yeah and I believe the owner will soon tire of this ultra-rigid landing gear beat-u-2-death-on-the-ground aircraft. I used to fly with a guy who had a Flybaby, a larger vintage design sort of similar to this one. At least the Flybaby had large low pressure tires to help take up some of the shock and bumps. Also, each landing had to be spot on or it would bounce badly. Many owners do like the MiniMax variants so it may not be an issue. Nice looking and great engine though!

Funny, I blew out a spark plug in my bug, made the worst noise! Glad you made it home!
