Default Any news on KOLM ENGINES??

Just wondering who has been following any recent developments.Been looking at the IL135 LE(long edition)with the 270 degree crankshaft.Very difficult to find a total price assuming you need to buy the engine mount from KOLM as well.

Part of the reason for posting the above is that information seems very 'patchy' on some of the more important aspects of fitting a large kolm engine to a single seat warbird.The videos are very good and everyone knows how scale the engines sound 135/200.If you look at the vids carefully you will see some very clever engine mounts in the mustang and spitfire.The spitfire appears to have a mont that supports the extended front engine housing behind the thrust washer.An earlier vid shows what is described as the 200 'throwing' a prop.In fact if you look carefully you will see a helper carrying the whole prop/spinner/front bearing section of the engine back after a mild crash,really good save by the pilot.

Since these engines are very desirable i think most people would feel a bit more comfortable if they knew what mount etc they need and a total rough figure before diving into this adventure?

I'm interested in the 100cc boxter for a WW1 scale project. I
have exchanged emails with Dr. Vogelsang and sounds like he can get them.

There apparently are not many running in the USA.

Did anyone get a price yet. I'm curious about the 100 and 135. I texted Goetz today so if I hear anything I'll post it here. I got my Moki from Vogelsang and was happy with the service so I'm glad he's carrying these.
