Default Ultralight motors?


I had been watching for a copy of it on eBay for over 3 years. I'm
surprised you found one so quickly.

Two stroke cycle engines can be a marvel of simplicity or frustratingly
complex and sometimes both at the same time. Most of my 2 stroke
experience is motorcycle and snowmobile related. For street bikes the
EPA killed them and it’s a real shame. There really wasn’t that much
pollution from all bikes much less a few 2 strokes on the road.

I don’t have any experience with fuel injected 2 strokes but I’ll bet
it’s an improvement. Like I said before I don’t have the money for such
a project or I’d have a Hirth 4 on order to put in a bike.

I'm 6'5" and I could never seriously consider an ultralight. I don't
know what engine will be in my first plane but only cost will take one
of these out of the running.

Tony, thank you very much. I don't know much about 2 strokes but I'm
flying behind one some now (a little Zenoah) and I should learn more.

Please email them to rtriley (at) gmail.com

Mostly, I was just interested by how easy it was to find these days.
I had the same experience a while back with a song I'd heard on the
radio in the 1970's. "Midnight Flight" by the Good Brothers. I could
never find it in the US back then (they were a Canadian band). Last
year I thought to look it up - and within about 3 minutes I'd bought a
copy of the album on Ebay for $5.
