Could this work for a small helicopter, like the kind BJ Schramm was marketing?
Comments?


TheRoyal Enfield diesel bike (made in India) used an Italian diesel
engine - and is SLOW, HEAVY, and rough riding.
From someone who has ridden one, he says they can hardly get out of
their own way with one rider. (something like 15-20HP on the big one)

Pretty sad for an 850 CC engine.
The Enfield Robin may be better - I think it was a Fuji Robin engine..
Still heavy and gutless.

On a Helicopter, I think it would be safe to say it would never "get
off the ground"
