When all systems are added up, the total is around 275. Cost depends on how you obtain it. Get a used engine & overhaul it yourself and the cost can be as low as $1000 - 1500, not including redrive, intake, cooling & exhaust systems. . Power is between 160 - 190 HP depending on intake & exhaust tuning. The engine & redrive are about 35" long. The engine itself is about a 13" cube. You can use any propeller suitable for the aircraft. Tracy >>> I have an idea of a AirJeep that , if successful, could allow an owner to land on water, land and ride home to park in one,s garage.. Could do away with the automobile as a means of ground transportation. The model geometry of folding and srowing the wings by rotating to rest on three points is worked out. The use of rotarry engine is part of the design. Your comments of the 13b would be of benefit to the idea. Could you give me the engine weight, cost, horse power, and outside deminsions? The engiine would be a pusher on a high wing design. What is the propeller design--two, three, are four blade, fixed or adjustable design? <<<
