Hi Brad Somehow I thought you were VW powered. What thrust numbers do you
have for the Geo? I have 370 lbs static on my redrive VW and plan to test
the 582 Avid as well as the 152 soon. I would love to compare other engines
at maximum static thrust. It may not be the final answer as certain planes
are better suited for some engines, but it is a start. Also did you find the
answer as to deviating from the established thrust centerline? Thanks Ron

Folks,
I am getting ready to mount up my motor (Geo 3 cylinder) and I need to
order
the tubing. What size tubing should I get? I have the 582 mount for
reference, but without cutting into it, I have no idea as to the wall
thickness.
Also, does anyone have the thrust line for the Kitfox Model 2? My manual
has
no reference to it. I know where the 582 sat in relation, but are there
hard
numbers?
Also, is th4ere any thrust offset? Most are down and to the side. Any idea
what it should be?
Thanks,
Bradley

I looked really hard at the V-dub, but I just couldn't get anyone to commit
on things like TBO's, and I couldn't find anyone who's flown one for a
while. I'm sure they're out there, but I couldn't find 'em.
I'd have to go look it up in the archives, but IIRC the G10 is between 330
and 390, depending on the prop (and who you believe). There's quite a thread
way back, I'd have to go find it.
I would be interested in duplicating your test setup, so that meaningful
comparisons can be made.
Bradley
