Yikes have a look see at this 80 hp flat head from europe weighing in at 103 lbs including all the accessories.6 cylinder to follow soon. Simplicity from old technology.Check out the oshkosh video under movies.Can anyone find a price on this? http://www.d-motor.eu/

Looks like Euro 11,850, so today would be about $15,200.

Looks nice, but who's going to step up and be first to fly behind it? :)

I'll give the 120 HP version shot as a beta tester for free... :lol:

If I had your flight experience I would too! I need to leave test pilot duties to the more experienced. :oops:

The D-Motor is being offered in Barnstormers now by an American distributor.Just a mere $17500(for the first 10)gets you 95hp at only 125lbs all up weight. http://www.barnstormers.com/ad_detail.php?ID=712799

125lbs complete FWF?! Wow!
I suspect you'd have to move the engine a fair whack forward for CG reasons.

I'll be interested in seeing the first Sonex flying with this one.

Looks like the D-Motor has hit America.
