   Bob I had the taper on the gearbox machined to match the shaft of the 670. Mike hair in Idaho did the machining he is kind of the 670 expert. I as also bored the pistons 1mm over . Put all new seals in.  Then you have to machine a few edges of the mate the gearbox up. Mike also made me a custom pipe. A few guys including rotax rick make pipes for the . Then I finished it with a three blade warp drive prop.

   Wow awsome thanks for the replies. I wonder if I might be able to borrow a few ribs as patterns so I can keep the plane running in the mean time.

   Without naming names. One of the most influential pilots on my build has just done something amazing in his 670, they call them 720 because they are bored over. He lives here in utah and his brother lives in Alaska just outside of Fairbanks. His brother bought his kitfox 2 with the 670 so my friend flew his plane from Utah to Fairbanks Alaska. He got there it I think 7 days and the photos and journey were epic. The 670 is now flying around Alaska just south of Fairbanks. Gives a little street cred to the 670.

    Well she's all buttoned up with about 6 hrs taxi and set up time on her. Pitched the prop to about 6800 rpm. May go higher for horsepower later on. She runs great with the warp drive prop. 72 inch 3 blade. Should be in the air soon.

    A better way starter solenoid

    Is there a better way with the newer batteries than using these clunky old solenoids to get power to the starter.

    Egt probe location.

    Where are the egt probs supposed to go or where do the probes work best. On my 532 they were 6.5 inches from center of the piston. I’ve heard 4 from the face. What exactly is the face. Is it the side of the piston.

    Im not. I’ve done my research and received instruction from some very accomplished local pilots who have had excellent results with the 670 and the standard sled ignitions. I know there is plenty of disagreement here. I will be installing the engine and working through the final steps soon. My mentors have given me a tone of head starts down to almost the exact set up that works. Hopefully I am able to duplicate there success. It’s basically a 100 hp engine for under 2000. Got the starter on today. Need to drill and tap holes for the pyros. When your ready to go buck I will tell you everything I’ve learned.
