Has anyone one picked up or seen one of these yet?

Looks like a good engine for a 1/4 scale P-51 or Spitfire.Its expensive though,$1990 for just the engine.

bet it sounds awesome too

It will sound like a big twin that shakes like the devil. Both jugs to one side.....

You big scale guys are making a 60 year old NUTS!!! Why don't you find a nice used 1972 Yamaha LS-2 twin 100cc motorcycle engine, keep the five speed gearbox, run any size prop you want - you'll need a very strong servo to shift the gears- and build a plane you can fly in. Pietenpol Air Camper anyone? Imagine how much you could save in electronics.

Alternate firing makes the engine very smoooth compared to a opposed boxer twin which does shake like the devil...

Knowledge is Power!

that is what helps to keep the rumors down[8D]

Hey Guys is the 150 availible from anywhere still?, Secondhand Maybe ?

Both new and used I believe.

I am always intimidated by the twin carbs. I fear it would be hard to get the engine dialed in.

If you have a twin cylinder engine the best method of fuel induction is twin carbs. There's the rotary valve solution for some rear inducted engines but the opposed and inlines do best with dual carbs. You can't install a single carb on a pair of cylinders in most current configurations and obtain equal fuel delivery to each cylinder. The rotation of the crank is a tremendous impediment to balanced fuel charges. Balanced fuel delivery requires the use of a manifold and people are too obsessed with having the lowest weight so a manifold won't happen soon.

You have a point though. Seems a fair number of people can't correctly tune an engine with a single carb let alone two. That just might finally put gassers well over the top for more than a few.

You better baffle that baby really well, forcing air to have too pass through the rear cylinder fins.
