3 cylinder anyone?

Verner Sent a few photos of the engine builds. I've got good intel these two engines will be flying on a couple XLs in the Texas skies this spring.

Oh MAN!!! I bet you are excited.... I am!!! I'd LOVE to get one someday!!!!

Ah yes,Santa finally arrived! Instead of the usual lump of coal, he left one Scarlett 3.
LE-LX E-20 will be flying the TX skies this spring with it. More as it all develops. I know Frank Johnson is about to receive his. I am looking forward to Recklaw already!

Cool...

OK I am nearing the airframe completion point.....and have all the goods on hand to finish my 45 horse. So what kind of thrust are these capable of ? I am almost tempted...but I want to see one fly first. If Frank doesn't mind a visit...I want to see it flying myself. I can always put the 45 on another plane I plan to build after this one....

[PropMan]

Not sure what the thrust is yet, but we'll have at least two flying this spring. Should have testing under way by May.

[Bob S.]

I think I heard a rumor of over 200# Thrust unofficially....

Motormount is under re-design and development to accept the three radial impulses....opposed to two lateral ones.. Interesting!!

Verner is going with 105 KG...  231.485 lbs

Of course this is before Frank puts his prop on it...  250..??!!

[Bob S.]

we shall see........

[Dan_]

we shall see........

True.

Guess it depends on how good a prop they have on it now, but my money is on Frank...

[PropMan]

I'd be happy with 230lbs. seems like thats what a 4cl VW makes. Hmmmm, wunder what a DE would do with 70 Less pounds on the nose and this engine Swinging a 68-70 inch prop?

Here's a photo of the Verner install on a LEXL...
