Hi guys,

There’s a fine article in Kitplanes this month on the engine failure/accident rate for aircraft engines as compared to automotive engines.  The piece does put

a decent focus on  problems with cooling, re-drives, and ignition systems (not so much the engines themselves).  Though, I would have liked to have seen failure

rates of re-drives taken by geared versus belted, the article does say without saying that you need to know what serves your automotive engine conversion best.

One redeeming chart does show that after 200 hours, long term, automotive conversion failure rates are less frequent than the standard aircraft type engines.

Larry – 

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

I find the part about post 200 hour engines really interesting. On the surface this would seem to indicate that after 200 hours that the kinks get worked out (one way or another). 

 

I know on my 601HDS, now that I’m approaching 200 hours, any of the issues that you weren’t sure about either have surfaced or haven’t become an issue (by the way, I’m flying behind a 3300A Jabiru). I’d bet the 200 hour mark is also a major safety mark of improvement for experimental airplanes in general.

 

Don

Hey Larry –

 

What month is this article from via KitPlanes? I took a look at Feb. 2011, Jan 2011, and Dec 2010 and can’t find it … Signed up for their digital subscription – pretty nice being able to access all the old issues – got some reading to do! 

 

Thanks,

Don
