Thanks Guys,

Wasn't really serious about the Soob, am having some serious problems
getting hold of a 13B here though. Years ago I came across an importer of
Jap engines from their environmental throw outs, I've gone and lost the
data!!

Richard, what is your method of cutting down the eccentric shaft, do you
simply grind the second lobe away or can it be roughed out on a lathe? Does
this need annealing/hardening etc. or what.

Pity, I haven't got the data for line of thrust ( I'll check the demo kit in
a minute) I had rather set me heart on one of Tracy's PSRUs.

Absolutely!!

This the Popular Flying Association, the UK equivalent of the EAA. They have
the delegated authority (from the CAA) for inspection and certification of
homebuilt aircraft in the UK.

Thanks for your time everyone, really appreciated, back to the dream tank.

Cheers,

Tony.
