Mid West Engine GIAE100/110R

[Mike Holdstock]

Bit of a long shot because of their scarceness but does anyone have a spare engine for sale or know someone who does?

Hello Mike.

Your request doesn't sound too good. Has Bravo Zulu's engine given up for good? I used to own that aircraft and sincerely wish I could help you but I have no contacts to assist in your search for an engine or a mount. It would be great with a Rotax up front, it's a superb aircraft. I had problems during my ownership with the engine and getting my hands on parts from Austria was not an easy task.

I know a superb welder who would make you a frame from diagrams for a Rotax installation I'm sure. He repaired my frame on an RV4 to a very high standard.

If you supplied the steel 4130 I think it is with the diagram he may be able to help you.

The number I have for him is 07734 232994, his name is Dewi, pronounced Dowie from Oswestry Shropshire. He welds for Linstrand balloons.

Good luck with your modification and I would love to see BZ flying soon

Regards
