BOb,

What attacks against certified types? My comments have obviously been
sarcastic exaggerations only in response to your equally sarcastic
exaggerations against auto-conversions. 8-O I report one incident of
in-flight coolant loss and you paint the concept of water cooling as a
dangerous and deadly defect of auto-conversions. And you accuse ME of
spin!

BOb says:
What erroneous, warped and distorted BULL****.
Now, you 'dastardly' dare spin MY words in front of me??'
Looks like you are taking a page out of Corky's book.
The more I say, the more you and he twist them.
What futility it is to deal with you two gems.

Actually, Bruce is correct here, he does not attack certified engines.
He has stated previously numerous times, that if certified engines
were reasonably priced, he'd have no problem using one. The same goes
for me. They are cranky, balky and awkward to start and prone to
early overhaul, but do have an enviable safety record.

Bruce says:
Auto engine conversions are a safe alternative, subject to the
same failure modes that stop certified types. Auto conversions do not
explosively deconstruct any more frequently than do certified types.

BOb says:
I'm not going to mince any more words over this.

Ha ha, good joke. Folks, when has BOb ever minced words?

Until you attempt to certify your auto conversion via the FAA
your don't know what got, much less be able to TRUTHFULLY
lay claim to equality/parity with certified engines. In short.....
your position is patently absurd without authoritative data
that is all but an impossibility to collect.

Details of installation and operation disseminated widely will
eventually bring auto conversion failure rates in line with that of
certified types.

Hahahahahahhahahhahaaa...

No ****ING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, I can't top this.
Color me gone. bfg

We can only hope.

Barnyard BOb -- over 50 years of successful f(r)ight (little bit of Corky editing here)

Here's the problem: BOb keeps moving the target. At no time in any of
the discussions I've seen in this group, since before the group was
this group, has anyone suggested that for an auto conversion to be
viable it had to be certified. In fact the reality is exactly
opposite this concept: the FAA allows us to use alternative engines
without needing certification. But what's good enough, and legal for
the FAA isn't good enough for BOb Urban. He now demands that in
addition to testing the engine in flight to what, 500, 1,000, 1,500,
2,000 hours (who knows, he don't say) anyone who converts an auto
engine to airplane engine must also go through the impossibly
expensive process of certifying it. Not so that the FAA accepts it as
a viable engine, no, this is only for BOb Urban.

All I can say is that's pretty cheeky, given that it's not necessary.

You've threatened to leave before BOb, are you really going or just
tantalizing again?

Well you won't saveany money using this conversion Corky. I think The
owner could have bought a 300hp lycoming brand new and had enough
money left over for a new instrument panel for what he spent on his
plane. Plus he would have been in the air way sooner with little or no
troubleshooting.
Drew

Yeah,But... That CERTIFIED 300 horsepower Lycoming would have broke a
crank and killed him. There have been several CERTIFIED ones that did
the same thing. They said it was a quality control issue that slipped
by themselves and the Feds. If I remember correctly Lycoming had a
rash of CERTIFIED cranks break. So they recalled a bunch and using 50
YEARS of experience produced an even deadlier version to fix the first
ones. I am really surprised they didn't hire BOb to run their spin /
PR dept. Hey BOb, did ya sent the next of kin any flowers??? Nothing
like a CERTIFIED death !!!!!!

Ben,
You need flowers...
Stuck up your assinine arse.
You continue to be a CERTIFIABLE fool.

Any reasonable person knows...
Flying behind certified engines do have calculated risks.
They also know that **** happens under the best of
conditions and controls even where the most qualified
folks and systems are in play. All that can be said is
risks are made as low as possible in this manner....
not by psychotically hammering on some car engine
from the junk yard and substituting the unknown for
the highly known - all the while, stupidly foaming
at the mouth here in RAH.

My record of 50 years and nearly 9000 hours speaks
well of certified engines. I've learn in that time to respect
and trust the engines that I have flown behind over vast
open waters, western deserts, the Rocky Mountains,
crop dusting and IFR charters that would have you ****ting
in your britches.

What have you got to offer to date in your OWN behalf?
N-O-T-H-I-N-G... but derogatory crap and very cheap talk.

Each and every home brewed conversion carries UNKNOWN risks...
and only a flying fool would think he has better odds gambling on
**** that the average shade tree dood has cobbled together.
I'm not against you or your conversion endeavors, but I am
against any horse**** posted here laying claim that auto
conversions in general remotely measure up to the finest
and most reliable piston aircraft engines ever produced by man.

Anyone with an IQ over two digits should realize this...
but guys like you have to learn it the hard way.
So be it.

Is this the same old man who just a few months ago claimed he was
50 years of accident free flight until I invited him to visit me at me
private strip if he could prove it was really accident free. Seems to
me some serious back peddling was done. I will dredge up that thread
and repost it for all the new people that cannot figure out your real
motives. I might be wrong, BUT the last time I looked this Yahoo group
was named EXPERIMENTAL aircraft hanger. If ya want to keep ranting
about Lycoming please go to the CERTIFIED group, The jist of this room
it to EXPERIMENT with all realms of flight, be it airframe or
powerplant. You seem to be a very intelligent man so tell us all
reading this.... What is the defination of EXPERIMENTAL in your book
???????

PS, anyone out there that has a little free time would you go into the
archives and dredge up the last line of BULL**** BOb tried to pull
off about 50 years of accident free flight and repost it, BOb's not
worth my time. Oh yeah, I still use just ONE screen name. Kinda makes
a guy womder about someone that has several screen names, his motives,
agenda and stuff...

Ben,
You continue to prove yourself the unmitigated and irascible fool.
This is a NEWSGROUP outside of YAHOO and it is known as.....

--- rec.aviation.homebuilt ---

Since you have no idea where you are, there is little reason to
take stock in the rest of your character assassination foments.

Oh yeah, I still use just ONE screen name. Kinda makes

I have signed "Barnyard BOb" in every post of which you complain.
I'm hardly anonymous or deceptive on this count. Only a jerk like
you with an ax to grind would so blatantly be looking for trouble in
this regard and every other PETTY manner possible. Seems I am
"besting" you to the point you will try anything and do anything to
muddy the waters that I address. For your "dastardly" behavior,
I will no longer address you in this forum. However, I reserve the
right to address your online indiscretions and stupidity as it
pleases me in the future.

Ben,
Looking at your post time I realize it is late, but you seem a little confused
this morning? This group has noting to do with Yahoo. While I don't know Bob
really well I have met him in person and I would not hesitate to fly with him
into any airstrip you pick out and land on yourself. You have thrown out a
accusation about Bob back peddling, I do believe it is now up to you to prove
that he did that. Anxiously awaiting you proof.
