Graham - I got rid of the NSI drive long ago as I needed more vertical spac
e under the engine for a proper Kuchemann-Weber cooling duct under the engi
ne. The Marcotte M150 drive made in Canada allowed this as it only has a 1
.25" offset between the crankshaft and prop hub.
Fred has solved this problem by going to dual sidemount rads modeled after
Alex Bowmans Honda VTEC install - very nice!

Glenn
which reduction drive do you have=2C toothed belt? The NSA conversion was n
ever reliable imho. That used what they called a "linear cam" or something
which was nothing more than a sprag clutch like the old Continental starter
s. OK for about 500 hours then scrap

Go for it Craig! Don't let any of the doomsayers on this list talk you out
of it. This will be awesome. The modern
motorcycle engines are bulletproof. I run the Sube EA81 engine in my bird
and have been totally happy with it and
has been totally reliable at least after I got the cooling system to work!
Your'e going to have 10 times the fun with
your project than all the other plug and play types. Please post your prog
ress often!
