/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It's not my particular area of interest but the name sounds familiar. I know that there is the Rotax 503 and half VW conversions, but I'm sure they've got some kind of belt drive for the smaller ultralights.

it's quite a lot safer than not being at altitude and trying to restart an engine
which doesn't matter anyway. With this type of flying ideally many of the risks are mitigated even if the engine doesn't exist.
>This year at Airventure they introduced their latest design the Backyard Flyer powered by a four cycle 990 cc V twin engine producing 38 to 40 HP at 3600 rpm.

Allows people to get further away from the God damned morons. Can't get any thinking done otherwise.
