Wondering how many have seen this...? Called the Fourstar...one of a
kind...Bill Bronson of the St. Louis area designed and built it using
Firestar parts...
I have enough parts to build it...and the less than 2 gal an hour
consumption of my Global engine is desirable...
With my memory...may have sent this before...?? Herb

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of those who are intolerant of others.

Why couldn't half a VW be mounted in place of a 447 instead of
re-engineering the nose?

That has been done already....A fellow from East Tenn....sent the engine
to the Kolb flyin one year...mounted on an early Firestar 1. The engine
was later mounted on his Firefly... The engine had dual ignition which
required that it be started with the electronic ign disabled....Poor
fellow forgot and messed hp his hand really bad...
then he crashed and the wife put her foot down..! end of story...
The half vw engine is well proven and reliable...more so in a tractor
configuration.. Mine idles smoothly at 600 rpm but had a bit of
vibration at cruise...2850 or so.. balancing the reciprocating and
rotating parts helps quite a bit... and I would do that if I follow
through with this project...Herb
