Re: What the $%$#!
This engine was design to be air cooled and the logistics of the drive transfer from the prop shaft, can"t see it fly or even taxi

Re: What the $%$#!
Looking at the other pictures they have, it doesn't look like anything more than a very expensive paper weight on wheels.

With an engine in the rear and some rear steer and a blade youd have a bada$$ riding lawnmower.

Re: What the $%$#!
what paint is on the outside of that thing? Looks like chrome or something.
Unless that thing is lifted I dont see how he gets a transfer case on that thing. THe engine output shaft looks about an inch off the ground. |

Re: What the $%$#!
I'll pass - it doesn't have a windshield washer bottle and the doors are on backwards.
j/k, quite an interesting modification job.

Re: What the $%$#!
Wouldn't be hard, trim the prop shaft, add an H3,H53 tail rotor gearbox and your good to go
 , well maybe not that easy but it's a start

Re: What the $%$#!
Well being as it has no exhaust (note open chambers ) and no way to cool "rear" cylinders it's just a paper weight .Looks cool sitting in there but radial engines are cooled by the prop wash and I just don't see any 12 volt fan cooling that thing

Re: What the $%$#!
Looks cool, but that's all it does. No steering wheel.
