Take a look at the Jabiru. 80 hp, 4 cylinder is 123 lbs, and 120 hp, 6
cylinder is 161 lbs. See specs at www.jabiruaircraft.com

Hirth has a 2 stroke 110 hp 4 cylinder engine, and I think it weighs
around 120 lbs.

What's the fuel burn? Assuming it's an APU, how hard (and if you don't
mind me asking how much) by the time you got it installed?
Thanks

No flak here. Tell us a little more about it.

Speaking for myself Steve, I'm always interested in interesting
installations regardless the type. A well done installation is a well
done installation, despite the efficiency, or lack thereof. ;-)

Whoa, Katie bar the door, it's going in a BD-5.
Good luck sir, may the gods of flight smile kindly on your flight.
Should things go well with your testing I'm sure we'd all like to hear
about it. I know I would.

Bill & all,
The turbine did indeed begin life as an apu, Solar T62-2A1. Currently reworked and sold under the name Quantum by BD Micro Technologies <http://www.bd-micro.com> in Siletz, OR.

As for the referenced fatality, I do not believe the final NTSB report has been filed. Preliminary reports indicate the pilot was attempting to increase the response time of the prop (known problem of electric setup is slow response time on pitch change). NTSB reported that the prop was found to be approximate +2 degrees (basically flat). This is an enormous amount of drag for this little airplane. Even though this prop setup is not recommended by BMT, there are people out there attempting to use it. Not something I would choose to do.

$$$$". There is a lot of $3,000 + engines. I want to find a good car engine
like the VW and Subaru is, but newer. I have used VW's and Subaru's with
good luck but want to try something new.
Irl PH21
turbocharged, intercooled, leightweight. Already adapted for UL (FK-9
highwing) in Germany. Performance (climb) meets 80HP
Rotax 912.

a flybuddy is developing an Audi A3 turbodiesel conversion for aircraft use.
The target is to modify as few as possible. Weight penalty is accepted. The
airplane will be more of the kind low & slow. I will report about the
advances (it is an university engineering project scheduled for a period of
6 months)

This is a very interesting project. I also think that any weight
penalty of a diesel is more than made up by its inherent robustness,
fuel efficiency, tolerance of alternative fuels (jet fuel for
instance), power gains and compensation for altitude by the turbo and
lack of an electric and/or electronic ignition etc.
As for the Smart engine mentioned earlier in this thread, it really is
a jewel but should cost as much too, as it is manufactured by no less
than Mercedes Benz! It should be a refreshing change from the old
Lycosauri of the new world though.
If I had a choice, however, I would go with a small used Japanese
power-plant in the 600-1000 cc range, preferably turbo. Daihatsu 1000
cc turbo is perfect with its nominal 101 HP. Derated to about 80 HP
it should be perfect in a twin-motor pusher application similar to the
Leon brothers Cozy IV, or a tractor/pusher Defiant-Long-EZ hybrid.

the introductory price in germany was around 2000 US dollars. Look to

Hmmm. Would this be a 'trasher'?

This looks like a great engine. If you don't read German, copy the url for
the page from above, go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and paste the
url into the box. Select translate from German to English from the pull down
menu, hit the translate button, and after a few seconds you will see the
page completely translated to English. There are a few glitches mainly with
the technical terms, but generally it's pretty good.
I've used this site before and think it's pretty good and makes things much
easier to understand. My German is pretty rusty.
Hope this is of help.
Cheers,
Justin.

The introductory price is around $7000. The installation kit for
an FK9 is $2000.

The engine itself is DM 14.500 or something like $ 7,500.

It does but look at its cost for a paltry 55HP.

Sorry for the pricing mistake. Temporary blackout.
Regarding the HP, when I spoke with the company last March they made a point
that performance comes from torque, rather than from HP. In this respect it
is said to compare favorably with typical 80HP engines. Go figure. Anyway,
it still is a Mercedes basic design ;-) and the airplane modification is
done with support from that company.
