RE: BOOMERANG ELAN - New Build & Setup Thread!
Paul, you are exactly where I am on this. I want smoke, too, and that is a big concern with the 120 if I go with the split fuel/smoke oil tank. Giving up fuel quantity if running a 120 doesn't seem like a great idea. I've been trying to see where I could install a dedicated smoke oil tank, but the only place I see is right under the fuel tank tray, and that would probably require building a custom tank to fit in that area. I can't find any existing tanks that have a shape that would fit in that spot.
I've been thinking of the P100, K100G for power, too, as well as the Rabbit. The nice thing about those engines is that if I sell the Elan in the future, those engines can power a lot of other airframes. The KingTech is hard to beat for the money, at least initially. But I don't know much about them, and in the long run if they don't hold up it may cost more in the long run.
