Well TC cost is 300EURO that’s 500$ CDN. Then there is the cost of logistics customs brokerage and the unit is for a G38. I could try to buy the one from my brother. When it’s all said and done. I think I will be over 1000$ CDN. I can get a new engine lathe for about 500$ CDN. And I can make a lot of other stuff for cheep. I all ready have an engine. Maybe 100 $ or so in materials. I think I will have this done for 800 bucks. And own a hobby lathe.
Yes I think the best way is the TC system and take the power from the back of the engine. Then I can use a cog belt like you suggested. I could take the power from the front. But then I need an electronic ignition. Or gas on glow. If the unit is 2 lbs then I will be at the 7 lbs in the nose to balance the plane. I think it will work. But now I take back that it will be easy to make it. A lot of machining! If I farm it out I think I will be at about 800 bucks. Or more.
