Jason- That was definately not a bad video. We have nothing like that around here, and I have never even had the opportunity to see something like it. I have never been farther west than Cherryvale, Kansas, or Oshkosh- both for work, not pleasure. Please send more.
Did you notice any engine problems? Is the Yamaha a snowmobile engine, or motorcycle? I had three different Yamaha motorcycles in the mid '70's to early '80's, and was quite happy with the reliability. Do you have a web site covering the conversion?

Hello Bill,
The engine ran great. I Put 3.9 hours on the hobbs and burned 14 gallons of fuel. Below is a link to a thread on the forum that describes the conversion and has a you tube video you can watch.

Have you considered selling drawings of your adapter plate and
other mods to use the C box on the Vector engine? Herb

Hello Herb,
If you follow the engine thread, there is the number of the person to contact for adapters to put the Rotax "C" gearbox on the Yamaha engine. A word of caution. Converting an engine for use on an airplane is not a slam dunk, even if it is working acceptable well for me, you will still have to go through the process of making it work for you and that process can be painful.
