Sep 16, 2023 Engine Purchase Category: Engine
Had a buddy of mine send me an ad for an engine I want to try to run on this little kite. After asking if it could be done by both engine maker, dealer, and a few others, I decided this was the one for me. No 90lb Rotax 447 but a 40lb Hirth F33. I wanted fuel efficiency and flight time vs 20 minutes before needing to turn around to land and refuel. I also wanted creature comforts, like a windscreen.

It is a used engine but purportedly only has 5 hours on it. Will take it to a shop and have them take a look at it to see if anything needs to be replaced, and how to actually use it. Should have it some time this week.
