hello renato :

i am in france

and i have built an eracer mk1 (with v8 engine land rover 4.6 l injection)

it is registred f-pmki

you can see photos on tagazous.free.fr

search e-racer

if you want always specifications , you can ask at bigorn@neuf.fr

The proto type had a CM F58 olds basic aluminum V8. bored and stroked with cut down chev. 327 rods, a combination of many engins with an end result of 289 cu-in about 225 hp at rpm NA. I had a all aluminum 4.3 chev V6, srroked to 4.9 with a vortec supercharger, 365 lbs, 280 hp at 4000 engine rpm, above 300 at higher rpm. It was also mounted in front of the firewall as per plans, in my opion not a good design. My new AC will have the 10540 with high compression pistons, twin Klaus ign. and an airflow performance injection, 325 hp. Weight should come in around 415 lbs, I will know for sure when I weigh the completed engine which should be very soon. Project is moving right along.

hello jack, my eracer (n°263) has a V8 from landrover 4.6liters injection and power is 225CV at 3500 rpm at engine with 2243 rpm at propeller. the main point is that i burn only 26 liters per hour of avgas 100LL at 3500rpm at 160 knots speed; and 30 liters at 180 knots; and the cost of engine/reducer is shiper than IO 540 , same effect for spare parts.

Enclosed specifications i have with my E-Racer:

Engine is V-8 electronic injection 4,6 liters from Land Rover 165kw (225 cv).

Parameters are :

Cross wind landing tested 20 kt (37 km/h)

Take off at 930 kg 580 meters

Landing lenght at 930 kg 590 meters

Flight duration 6h30mn plus 1/2h saffety time

avgas 100LL per one hour from 20 to 26 liters for cruise speed from 280 à 320 km/h

using avgas 100LL -possible to use 100LL or no lead 98

ascentional rate 1500 à 2500 ft/mn

best ascentional speed 105 kt

best lenght tested at 880 kg : 17 : with 100kt speed

Down wind speed 100/105kt

speed to put out gear legs 120 kt

Final speed 80kt

Landing speed 70kt

Speed take off from 70 to 80 kt and 100 à 110kt, gear off 500ft, ascentional at 100 to 110 kt, cruise super chip at 140kt(260km/h)(19l/h), chip cruise to 150kt(278km/h)(21l/h), cruise 75% 162kt(300km/h)(26l/h), high speed cruise 180kt(333km/h)(26l/h), maxi speed tested 216kt (400 km/h).

You may see this aircraft at LFOQ airfield.

You have more photos on tagazous.free.fr

i may send more information if you need.

I have an e-racer mk1 with V8 auto Land Rover engine 4.6 liters injection

max load is 930kg (2048 lb)

at this weight stall speed was tested around 62 to 65 knots

at load 820 kg i have tested stall speed at 55 knots

final speed at 80 knots

landing speed 70 knots

when i wish short landing distance i use hight incidence (15 to 20°)and speed mini 65knots with power at engine (2500 rpm) (propeller 1600 rpm)

my propeller is 65.36 inch diameter and 90.56 inch pitch two blades

down wind speed is 105 knots

best speed to climb is 100 to 110 knots

climb rate from 1500 to 2500 ft/mn

best speed to fly without engine is 105 knots (ratio 17 tested)

i can transmit more information if needed

my engine power is 165kw (225cv)

avgas100LL need between 20 liters to 30 liters (economic to full power)

E-racer is a good aircraft with hight performance if you use the good engine and the good propeller.

i have built mk1 type with a land rover engine v8 4.6 liters injection.

with several modification and structural test i have registred my e-racer at maximum load take off 930 kg (2048lb) same balance of cg.

i can transmit information on builting if you need
