You are trying to do this with a very small displacement
engine(almost half
the size of the 3.2L), which means you will really have to wind it
<<<snip>>>
rotor head, but I assure you our criticism is
only intended
to be constructive. I hope you make us all look like fools,
because I hate
to be the bad guy, but I also worry about the safety of your
engine choice.

Paul, The best piston sound I ever heard was a P-38
turning onto the runway and pouring the coal to it
for take off. Virg


Well, again, I'm in a huge crowd of one.  I'd like the engine and prop
both to be whisper quiet.  Yes, I know that is impossible with current
technology with the prop, but the engine can be mostly silenced --
tradeoff between power/weight and noise.
