EAA166 from Sun 'n Fun 2024: New Engine Walkaround 

Current numbers I hear is $90-100k for the 4 cylinder with $60k+ for experimental. This is engine only cost with FWF being extra. I can't find a TBO or TBR. With diesel weight a high concern and I assume the designers have compromised reusability to save weight, it would more likely a TBR. Also, with litigation costs, will engine be serviced in house with only DeltaHawk mechanics or like Rotax with invite only certified shops? Nonetheless, I don't see this trickling down to Cessna 172 types for quick some time if ever.

No mention of TBO.

Uh, UH, where is the radiator Amigo? ? ❤❤

I love the engine.... i'm just worried about the belt on the supercharger. Back in the day, I had a supercharger on an old toyota pickup... and it would blow the belt every 5 or 6 thousand miles. Since it was a 4-stroke, it would continue to run. (Poorly) But it got the point where I would put on a new belt every oil change. Since this is a 2-stroke design.... I'm sure it would stop with a thrown belt. I wish they would have used a toothed belt (no slippage) or a more rugged drive solution. Like a gear drive with an oil bath. (the standard to drive aviation accessories)

Lubrication?

now put them in everything :))

does the RV14 pkg include a cowl?

GA is long overdue for a replacement of the air-cooled pancake engines.

He interest in to know the weight difference between this and one it is meant to replace as well as fuel burn and prices. Looks a good engine design though.

Any body price on these 3 engines, that about the a confige and oil draning into the cylinder and hydroloc on start up?

Cool stuff!

? The kinked hoses between cylinders ?? ❤❤

Will the 235hp fit im my cessna 150?

Forced induction Compound charging . Amazing

They used to tout , One hp/lb. 20 years later, still in development and specific lb/hp/hr are nothing to write home about. Be very leery of claims from these people. Great idea, poor execution.

100k? Yeah no

Detroit Diesel of the sky…I dig it.
