Thanks for all the responses thus far.  I don't really want to have
the
engine torn down, but I would rather try and get it right the first
time.... so if I can p-port my engine now(as in shipping it somewhere
reliable...  I do not have much in the way of machining tools) without
to much difficulty and then use a slide throttle that would be great.

I plan on going on floats one day and short gravel strips up here
require the higher hp for takeoff.  I am not too concerned about
cruise.  I will be lucky to see 120 kts with the 26" tundra tires and
105kts with floats.

You can all call me K11, a nick name I got from the Guard.....
Kvernplassen was to long to put on the flight scheduling board so they
just put K+11, which then just got shortened to K11.


Attached is a couple of pictures of the plane and engine

Looking good Paul. No need to tear down the engine unless
you p-port it. With a Glass Star I think 150 to 180 HP
should be fine. What part of Alaska are you in?
I have flown up there and back once. Rented a plane in
Anchorage once. And flew to Yellowknife and back once.

Thanks,

I was hoping I could get at least 200hp out of the Renesis but I suppose
that it will depend on the intake?

I live in Anchorage and enjoy hunting and fishing and camping.....
having a plane to get to remote areas makes it a whole lot more
enjoyable.  I am sure your flying up to and in Alaska was a great
adventure.

I guess I am going to have to tackle each issue I haven  building up the
motor one at a time, otherwise it just seems a bit overwhelming.  I am
going to try and get to sun-n-fun this year and hopefully come away
with some good ideas and learn a bit.  I will definitely be at your
booth Paul.

Here are some shots I took on a RCAF camping and fishing trip out of
Yellowknife NWT. "Survival Training" :)
My son was a Twator pilot in the RCAF. We had a inflatable dingy and
an outboard motor in the Twator.
