If I wanted a two-cylinder air cooled engine I'd go buy one, following

What engine did he use? I did a quick Google but all I
could find was a reference to a 40-hp two-banger in his airplane. No
details.
Found, too, that Leeon has died. Too bad.

he used a converted 700cc briggs and stratton V twin vanguard engine.
look for the michel colomban MC30 Luciole ultralight web site.
this has some photos of the converted vanguard engine.

dont launch out and buy any old briggs version for a conversion.
there is one version that has no keyways machined in the crankshaft.
that is the version need for conversion.
