fastj22,
Nope, it's definitely not a BMW. Theirs are either inline (the K-series) or horizontally opposed (the R-series). The R-series are very popular motors for trikes and many have been fitted to LSA-type conventional planes. too (mostly in Europe). I'm interested in those, (115HP, les than 180 lbs, proven in flight, not to pricey) and started a separate thread here a few minutes ago looking for any info related to their existence in the Sonex world.
