Hi all,
Below is what showed up at work here for me last week. Not necessarily "traditional" in RV terms, so it's sort of alternative. Now we all know I'm an RV'er at heart...we've done a number of them, but the next project just had to be something a little bit different. Mark Frederick and Doug Rozendaal almost had me building a rocket, but I figured if I was going to make the 50% jump from 4 cylinders to 6 cylinders, why not just add yet another 50% and go for 9 cylinders! It'll be a good long while before she's airworthy, and I'm not completely giving up RV's either!
Diameter - about 4 feet.
Weight - about 800 lbs (yes - thats right, EIGHT HUNDRED lbs).
Hp - about 500
Cubic Inches - 985
Supercharger - 12:1
Fuel Burn - depends on who's payin!
Cheers,
Stein
PS, everyone complaining about weights ought to think about this. The prop these things take are steel, about 96"-102" in diameter and weight about 170lbs!
