Thanks Jack; Suzuki in the Geo Metro?? I looked up on the internet using GOOGLEsearch engine, and found that the 3 cylinder is a good aircraft engine andputs out 65 hp at 5500 rpm. Which sounds high, but people who have done it,say no sweat. There is a guy with a web page on it. I'll see if I can findit again? But the 65 hp is too low for a two seater. The Geo 65 hp would be too light for the two place Pietenpol is myconclusion.Why would you think 65 hp is too little for a two seater? I'm putting aContinental 65 horse in my Pietenpol, and there are quite a few 2 seatersfrom J-3 Cubs to Luscombes that all weigh more than a Piet but have only 65hp. The Ford Model A puts out a dubious 40 hp on a good day, but that isgood enough to lift two souls.As has been said before on this forum, "Simplicate and add Lightness".Don't add any weight you don't have to, and you'll find that you can get bywith very low power. If you build a heavy airplane, all the power in theworld won't make it fly well. I'm heavier than Bernie Pietenpol, by abunch, so I sure don't want my plane to be heavier than his.Jack________________________________________________________________________________
