Made using 4.4 Husky chainsaw cylinders in one of the best custom crankcases ever made...The methanol race versions go almost 200 mph in a lightweight P51 Stiletto...
Anything that applies to the chainsaw would apply to the twin...I'm converting one from racing back to gas and ignition.....

Actaully i am the proud owner of Lancair IV made by Hostetler himself and flown by Braun team and twice the world cahmpionship. I want to get the service manual for this engine. It is a totally special lookking engine. in takes have been raised and the exhausts are totally different to the other ones. Have you ever seen this beauty?.

The one I have here was made for Kenny Thornton of the Blues Brothers race team..
Best place to get information on the engine is on the USRA racing forum
Go to
www.usrainfo.org
Put an inquiry in the racing forum, someone will reply....
Wendel Hostetler and Miles Reed collaborated on the first Lancair IV..Miles told me that if the real one qualified at Reno they would have one of the fastest planes ever...It did, and subseqently the model versions were legal for racing...The first ones had problems with strength, MANY of the wings folded in the turns at about 220 mph...The problems were fixed and Lancairs had their own class, called experimental, at our races...The experimental class died out and there are no more Lancairs racing, as it takes 3 planes to make a class....Fred Sattler still holds the experimental record, set with an A cubed 11.6 twin...
