I also like the looks of rans planes,I am currently building a tamden,taildrager,gyro with a rans s-18 enclosure and hirth f-30 .The f-30
is mounted as a pusher but the prop is in front of the motor which allows
the unit to run "free air" for cooling.Main tubing for engine mount,tail,etc
goes thru the center of the prop,(cog belt redrive) this is very light and simple
to brace.The rotorhead is unique as it has a much larger bearing 1.250 i.d.,with this change Iwas able to add a driveshaft thru the center of the
of
the head to pre-rotate,a sprage bearing is also incorperated as a fail-safe
Power for pre-rotor is from a 6.5hp lawnboy engine with a special reduction
and super small,wet clutch.Frame is 4130 tubing mig and tig welded as needed
I will try to post some pics. when i get some extra time
