The engine is far from stock. It uses a Ford Motorsports block, cocla
crank. H beam rods, titaniam valves etc. The best stuff one can buy. It
did cost me 12,000+ to build including the redrive but thats far less
expensive then a comparable certified 300 hp motor.If you are a true
motor head you will appreaciate pics of it. here are a few links of the
plane. There are some on Jays, alexisparkinn's site, Beltedairs'site
and www.ch701.com.

Firewallforward weight including a three bladed inflight adj prop is
less then 420 lbs. A little lighter then a fully dressed 0-360Lyc and
twice the power in a detuned state. It is basically a full race sprint
car motor capable of 800+ hp so it is just idleing along,
