Hi
Seems like several people are switching to HKS for the
firestar ll. I have 60 hrs on mine , I don't have any experance
with any other engines so I can't compare preformance.
I do really like my instalation, so far it has been trouble free.
I fly at gross wt. of 725 lbs. for every flight, usally I am at 1000 ft.
when I cross the end of my 5000 ft runway. So it seems to have
plenty of power, <at least it has enough for me>.
The one thing I would change if I were to do it all again, I would reserch the exaust and carb mounting. I used the up style , I understand ther is a down style and maby one other type. The down style wont permit you to mount a canister type BRS to the
top of the cage.mine is slung under the cage I'm not sure thats the
best place for it.
If anyone thinking about , or is mounting a HKS I will gladly share
any info I have, I don.t have any e mail pitcures.

That is because there were none attached to Boyd's email. I believe he was referencing Bill Vincent's email, from yesterday, that did have some photos of Beauford in all his finest aviation regalia.

Hi
I mment to say the up style exhaust for the HKS wont permit the
canister BRS to be mounted on top of the cage.
Sorry for the confusion.
