I live in Colorado at 7200 feet elevation, I will  be flying off grass. There 

are many 10,000 foot days during the  Summer.

 

    Question - which engine would be best for this  application, Jabiru 3300, 

Jabiru 2200, Rotax 912m, Rotax 914, O235,  turbine?

 

Regards, John Read

John,

I am here in Colorado at 9,100'. I am planning something Turbo'd. You =

derate HP of and engine around 3% per 1,000 in elevation. I haven't =

gotten this far yet, still cutting out parts, but I have been doing some =

research on engines, and haven't come up with a solution yet. I don't =

want to pay the price of a 914, but I would like something tried and =

proven also.

John,



Here is a link to a great review of the 102hp Smart

engine in an FK9. It is a 3 cylinder 4 stroke with,

fuel injection, turbocharger, dual ignition, optional

intercooler. Has great fuel economy too!



http://www.ecofly.de/download/TodaysPilot_11_05.pdf



They also have and 82hp version with the same

configuration, and a 60hp diesel version.



Maybe by the time I am ready to build, these will be

more readily available.



Best regards,



Craig Moore

701 builder wannabe
