Greetings,
So my Verieze prodject started with a complete airframe but no engine, due to limited funds I ended up with a C85. Previously it was built with an O235 but was taken off from another home builder that just wanted the engine and mount for his project. It was originally built without a starter and was hand propped but for my own safety I went with the sky tech starter. Originally the battery it has is only a small motercycle 12v battery and is not sufficient to crank the engine. Another problem i foresee is the added weaight of the new cables, celinoids, and larger battery.
I'm open to any suggestions, or someone who has been there done that to move forward with my project.
Other sudgesstions on my project is,
Can I use the previous installed poropeler and how do I time it to avoid exhaust ? Also how far does the prop need to be from the trailing edge of the engine upper and lower cowling?
Fabricating new exhaust pipes and adding a heat exchanger for carb heat.
Trying to match all the OT/OP tachometer CHT/MT sensors or just go with a new engine monitoring system. Which system is best for type design and is sold at a reasonable price.
Engine baffles, I have two sets of plans, one plan boxes around the engine and the other is with the plans of the plane. Traditional design.
My airframe does have the P51 scoop intake.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Felipe
