John,

I can have them made but they are a bit pricey. It would be even more so if I needed to make a profit.

Comment on RV-10 Alternative Engine - Engine Mount by davehertner

Bob,

I ended up going with the mount developed by Bud Warren at Geared Drives. He is an expert welder and I could not have come up with a mount that was as functional without getting his help anyway.

I would not advise using any type of toothed belt re-drive with the LS1. They cannot handle the horsepower and have a limited life in all aero applications. The only re-drive/PSRU that I have been able to find that is durable and built to deal with the harmonics is the one developed by Bud Warren at Geared Drives.

Save yourself a lot of headache and stay away from belts.

Hi Dave. Great site and very informative. Can you advise what stage you are currently at? I am set on an RV 10 in the future and would prefer the beneftis of an LS engine, however my support group is somewhat skeptical. Would like to know how yours is doing.

Thanks

I am considering buying an almost complete RV10 aircraft, i have already a new 350 hp Chev LS1 engine coupled with a north west aeros redrive, i think this combination should work very well, burning perhaps 30 lts per hour.
Have you considered this combination for the RV10?
Like to hear your comments on this one.

Comment on Adjustable Pre-Load Front Axle Spacers for RV-6/7/8/9 by Dan Yager

I built a website to help people finish their Quickie kits. (I’m repairing one in my garage at the same time.) One thing that I’m having trouble with is finding manufacturers willing to create and distribute some of the prefabricated parts that Quickie Aircraft Corporation supplied. Can you describe the process you used with Cleaveland Tools? I’m just curious. You can feel free to contact me through my website if that’s more convenient as well. Great blog, very informative.

Warm regards,
