Hi guys,



There was some talk of a GEO  install by Bradley the other week. I came 

across this website and thought it might be some use to anyone that looking 

at a Geo.

"Why not the 3 cylinder. This engine has harmonic problems, it roc-n-rolls 

at low end. Example; you will need to install a heavy flywheel; the 4 lb 

flex plate from the automatic transmission will fail on you. If this lets go 

at 5000 rpm it will cause damage. Even after separation if nothing else you 

will poop your pants. You will not know what caused the entire racket, you 

may decide to force land and because it is going to be a bad day, now you 

also damaged the aircraft and if you did not get physical damage yourself, 

your mind will! This will lead to lock of confidence in the installation. 

One of my experiences, not the pooping."



Seems he has some good knowledge of this engine, and it looks like he is a 

Transport Canada amatuerbuilt inspector of soem sort.

Should be an invaluabel asset to anyone look at a GEO install

Good Reading,

I came across his site after I had come accross the harmonics prob and had 

decided to fit the 1.3 , 4 cyl, with gear drive, fitting up now and so far 

looking good in my Aeropup in OZ his site is very informative and backed up 

my decision, if it goe's really well I may make it a factory supplied 

option.
