Hercpilot Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Does it matter which model of O-200 you put on a varieze? Also, can you run stock cylinders with Klaus' pistons?

Ghost-Rider II Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Herc, This is a question I had when searching for my 0-200. There is a Tractor and a Pusher version of the Continental 0-200. As I understand it, he pusher has a reinforced flange on the crank. In one of the News Letters, Rutan posted an article that contained load data reveling no measurable wear on the Tractor version of the 0-200. The Tractor version is: difficult to find, more expensive, and popular in amphibians where the loads a significantly greater. Good Luck, Ghost Quote It's better to have started building and not finished then to have never started at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbert drieux Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Do you mean the Pusher version? Sure ! It is an error. He does mean "Pusher" version ! Rutan wrote there is no probleme to use stock Tractor O-200 on a VariEze to ... PUSH, as on the VariEze axial forces are very low. Far lower than for seaplanes. No requirement for specific pusher version ...... Quote Gilbert. VE 1736 F-PMPZ @ LFPK (France) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
