RE: Conversion for Texas Hurricane
The Homelight 45 works great on the Tx. Hurricane!! I built one a year or so ago & installed the 45 with the stock ign & used a Pitts muffler from Slimline. The bolt pattern is almost exact from one of the Zenoha engines (38 or 45 I think.) I had to do a little firewall mod to get the muff to clear on the bottom but the set up worked great. I had a little mishap with it & sold it to a fellow member & he's flying it with the same set up except he changed to the B&B muffler modified to fit the 45. The plane has unlimited vertical & flies excellent. When I had it the all up weight was 15lbs exact with the 45 & balanced perfect. This is definatly a good conversion engine for this plane.
I woudnt mind having it back if I can get him to part with it!!
Oh yea TNT made a landing gear for a fellow club member who has a Hurricane also. Its a little taller & wider. While mine was "being repaired" he sent my gear to them to have somethig to go by & it came out perfect so you guys might want to check with TNT to see if they saved a blue print or something.
