Not talking about one off parts. If there is enough demand economics comes in to play.

These days with CNC machines and even 3D printers spare parts aren't a problem as it use to be.

Well I have a 1988 hilux here on the farm, as to getting parts it is actually easier now than when it was brand new because the availability of after market parts. Plus I can do it online with the push of a button.

That Honda engine can make more than 200hp in stock form.

This engine is heading here to Aus. Be interesting to see how it goes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY2vv6qDVms.

I've got a 1988 Hilux here on the farm I have had it since new its got just over 500,000 klms on the clock.It just used ordinary Delo 500 oil without any additives.Now are people saying that I could do better with putting additives in my engine.So how many more klms will this extend the engine in the lux?

I am wondering now if anybody uses a hiclone in there plane.

I will be going down the viking honda 130 route I cannot see the money in a rotax. Viking Aircraft Engines HF-110

Look at the size of these planes for a single engine amazing for the period. Adrian

I can watch one after the other and think how people treated aviation back in those days, Adrian.

I would love one and put it in the front paddock just so I could look at it when I go to town.

For those interested in slope soaring .It's called the Manilla slopefest held each year at Mt Borah Nsw which is where they had the 2007 world para gliding championships. There is a airstrip and camping and facilyties down the bottom of the Mt. This is the 8th year with pilots coming from the U.S,New Zealand,South Africa for 8 days of flying. Have a look here. Manilla Slope Fest Australia 2017 - RC Groups I have been going every year and been having a ball. Normally we get close to a 100 pilots flying over the 8 days. There is a few videos on youtube Adrian.

And when you tighten the nuts and bolts use this.

As I live on the western side of the great divide I want a plane that doesn't need a airport or airstrip for that matter. I like to explore out of the way places and a good stol plane will take me there. Thats on my bucket list.

I like the hornet but doesn't quite tick all the boxes.Plus I am trying to stay away from rotax engines.

Yes I did thank you,I am still learning how to work this site.

Was reading through the viking forum and they mention about developing the Honda 1.L ,turbo 3cyl engine putting out 127hp

Maybe down the track

I am using the justaircraft superstol as a reference. Engine Engine FWF Just Aircraft FWF Kit That is close to having your engine running mounted in the plane with a prop and cowl. With the rotax it will be a engine sitting on the floor.

FWF is $8000 engine $8000,$16000 U.S plus shipping.What is a rotax 914 worth.
