Hi, folks;I did notice some mention of the Geo/Suzuki engine in Jenny replicas, and do have a bit of info on that (sorry if this has already been addressed; I'm behind). Dan Horton has a beautiful scale replica "Canuck" (aka Jenny) that made the cover of Experimenter a year or two ago and has won awards, and the magazine had a nice write-up. It's powered by one of these little engines with a redrive. I sent him a disposable camera about a year ago and had him shoot some detail photos of his brake setup for me, but he also got plenty of under-the-cowl shots. It's a beautiful airplane; brass radiator stuff, outstanding attention to detail. If you don't have the back issue of the magazine with the article, maybe one of my photos will help if you're interested. Just email me offline and give me a week or two. Or -better yet- email Dan with specific questions like weight, performance, and how he likes the engine. I think it's DHPHKH(at)aol.comSorry if I'm late getting back to those that asked about photos of William's cowling (on the Corvair); I'll get to it after I get through about another 100 emails and digests!Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 22:46:04 -0600

It's been a while since I looked atthis stuff,but either should put out around 75 hp. Some folks claim considerably morefor themwith altered cams, airflow, etc. The EA-81 is a bit lighter and simpler andusually isconsidered preferable. All-up weight for the EA-81 should come outsomewhere in theneighborhood of 220 lb, if memory serves, with the EA-82 about 20 lbheavier. Youreally need to look up the AIRSOOB mailing list, and its archives, for moreinformation.The archives are at http://www.interstice.com/~kevinh/airsoob/subject.html .Thereused to be sign-up info somewhere there as well. Probably appended to themessages,if not elsewhere.Owen Davies________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 10:44:30 -0500
