DESCRIPTION:
The cornerstone book in the field. Aircraft homebuilders usually do so to save money. This book explains what it takes to do it yourself.. This book helps reduce the high cost of building your own aircraft. They should read this book to try to get their mind out of the rut that the outrageously overpriced aircraft engine is a necessity. Many homebuilt aircraft have flown for years with auto engines and Finch explains how others have done it and saved big money engines, maintenance and fuel
Converting Auto Engines for Experimental Aircraft Being a mechanic, this book was "right on track". It had some great suggestions, that make alot of sense, Owning an Ultralight, with a Rotax engine. I am looking foward to building one, and am looking at all the engine possibilities. This gives me hope, answers, and ideas.. A little good information but mainly cheerleading BoatWright At one time, it was thought that auto engines were for cars, boat engines were for boats, and airplane engines were for airplanes. Eventually, Gardner diesel and Miller/Offenhauser racing marine engines wound up in vehicles, Liberty, Napier Lion, Ranger and Allison aircraft engines wound up in boats, and car engines-because of the radically cheaper cost and superior technology of mass production-wound up first. Contact! does it better. A Customer Finch's book is less a manual and more his own personal feelings without technical facts to backup his statements.The manual talks in generalities and although alright for brainstorming -- DO NOT go out and blindly put an auto engine in a plane. It doesn't work that way. The book makes it seem easier than it really is.The reality of auto engine conversions is they are time consuming and sometimes real engineer
