Posted 6 Apr 2016 (edited) I would love to have that engine in a lite kitfox or avid with bush gear and 80in prop!!only 78"...We will of course need a complete report on the Prince as compared to other props you've used. Another fellow, flying an S7 Rans sure likes his and has compared it to a Catto and ground adjustable three blade of some sort. Ultimately he preferred the Prince. And of course you know who that is eh? Edited 6 Apr 2016 by Emory Bored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 28 Jun 2016 As a update to Steve Henry's highlander RX1. He is replacing the header for one that has longer primary pipes so he has better low end power and better throttle response. He is having trouble making spot landings for competition purposes. I have been using a different header here lately and it really changes the low end torque. Wide open power is stiil about the same.

Posted 29 Jun 2016 If you get a chance could you post a picture of preffered header ,were along ways away from building the header so no rush , thanks again for the updates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Jul 2016 I looked at his face book page, He has a video of it running real strong, All I gotta say is holy shit that thing sounds like one bad ass bush plane. And if I am reading it right he is pumping Nitrous through it for 175HP on take off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
