I have a friend who has a plane with dual props driven by a single Honda V65 motorcycle engine, with a blower on it. They are on dual drive belts from a riding mower ( 4 of them) due to the belly mower belts durability apparently. He has a 1/2 gallon additional oil system with a pump and pressure switch to make that automatic.
Randhir Singh Malik I think obviously this was just a start up. You can see from the position of the pull start rope that it is meant to be started while in the seat, not needing all the priming and purging in so on.
Thanks Peter. How do you like the covering? Has it held up well? I think I might use that instead of Tedlar. It looks nice and being painted rather than clear, you’re more visible.
The engines were Rotax 185 cc 2 cycle , 9.5 hp, with 32x12 props, and I replaced them with 6.5 hp modified Honda gx 200 with re-drives and 44x20 ptops..
Hi Peter... Still interested in buying your beautiful Lazair when you are ready to sell... Please keep my email address and let me know sometime. Ask Jill if I can hire her to wash my plane in San Diego. It is a Beechcraft!!
I am interested in buying this as well. I had one years ago, regret selling it. If this ever does come up for sale, please let me know as well. It’s beautiful.
