As many of you know I have liked my CAM 100 engine in my Fox. It is now
10 years old and pushing 800 hours on it with no real problems. They
have a 5 year 500 hour warranty. The company has made many improvements
on the design, and now use the V-Tech Honda engine that gives a better
power curve than an O-320 until about 130 HP with an all up weight of a
little more than an O-200. The reason I tell you this is that in
conversation with the owner the other day he said that he is now in his
80's and is starting to think it might be time to have someone else take
the engine company to the next level. It is just getting too busy for
him. He and his associates that run the company are pilots and
engineers, and have not done much to market the engines. They sell to a
hovercraft company and for gyrocopters, along with aircraft. It would
also be a great air boat or generator engine. I don't know how many of
the engines are in airplanes, but they have a lot of run time
experience. As those of you in business know it is frequently not the
designers and engineers that make a good product go, it is the next
group that knows how to do something with the good product. This may be
the case with this company. The price for the company is really pennies
on the dollar considering the R&D, tooling, and reputation ( The price
is probably worth it just for their electronic ignition systems and
their redrives for chevy engines) I am not part of the company, I have
no economic interest in the company, and I am getting no commission for
this. These are just great guys with a good product. Their web site,
which is old and out of date is www.firewall.ca and the person you
want to contact if interested is Bob Masters at info(at)firewall.ca
They are not considering shutting down the company, Its just that he
would like time to fly and play a little. When I get in my 80's I will
probably fell the same way.
Thank you and I apologize if you consider this improper use of the list.

Very proper use of the List Alan. Thanks for the heads up as many of us are
always looking at engine alternatives. Hopefully someone will grab that
ball and run with it.

I saw Alan's CAM engine at a few Skystar fly-ins. Very clean engine and well
designed. Obviously holds up well too. I am surprised that you do not see
many CAMs in sport planes. This could be an opportunity for someone with
good sales skills (and $$$.)
