^^^ that kind of weight was what I was running into with the Guzzi twin. I have the reduction unit they used on the Hunter drone in the Mideast. That engine was 63 horsepower. Just too heavy. Inverting one and using a dry sump to get the prop in the proper location cut a *lot* of the weight off, but it doesn't make enough power at 3200. That made the Verner a no brainer.

Yes the new Merlin lite can-am is what got me interested. I’ve got some time to decide. But I will probably be setting everything up with that engine myself. Possibly buy the psru, maybe? I have a lathe and a mill so I may build my own. My goal for the build is to fabricate everything I can myself that makes sense. I just want to see how inexpensive I can get it done. There are also a lot of performance parts for the predator engines I’m looking into. Badland has a new v twin as well. I’m just gathering information at this point before I pull the trigger. I also have a top secret engine I’m working on but at this point it’s too heavy for the LEXL. I’ll probably do a different plans built lsa with that engine.
