Just an update for those interested...

This project has worked out pretty well, flight testing is complete and the engine has about 120hrs flight and ground test time on it now.
- Climb 800 fpm
-Cruise 120mph
-Top 130mph

Engine runs well but due to our cold weather (-20 to -30C) I've had a lot of cold start problems.

Solution....starting building a custom multi port fuel injection system.

Engine currently puts out 110-115hp |removethispart|@ 6000rpm based on thrust and performance of aircraft.

With the multi point injection I hope to maintain the performance and beat the cold start

Thanks Bentparts

Next project coming up aircraft wise is a 1.3/8valve should be about 80-85 hp and is destined for another homebuilt.

Currently have several 1.0's flying
1.3/8 valve out there somewhere on an airboat
1.6/8valve on this aircraft

1.6/8valve in my current sideKick that will become test project this spring
1.6/16 valve to be swapped for a 2.0/16valve if I ever get back to working on it (wifes Kick)

It's fun to play

Hi Psykochi

Be glad to help...I used to drag race myself, last car was a 240Z (love teasing V-8's), over 100mph in the 1/4 on reg fuel no blowers or electronics.

Whole car was built for less than a strong V-8.

Can I get some basic info
-weight
-gear ratio
-tire size
-engine internals including cam (if not stock)
-current bolt on goodies (type of intake/exhaust, any EFI mods, stock ignition or modified?)
-listening to the video I assume it's a 5 speed

So with a 1600/8valve Sidekick engine does that make it the highest/ fastest tracker?
