Hi,
Great to have this group up and running, I am Seamus from Xair
Ireland. Been flying & Building Xair's now for 2+ years, and are
currently working on fitting BMW R100 4 stroke Boxer engines to our
Xair's here in Ireland.
We have just finished the engine mount and will be doing the required
load testing / proofing next week.
For those who don't know the R100 is a 1000cc horiz. opposed twin
cylinder motor bike engine.
The R100 Boxer is well known for it's reliability and the 'bottom
end' is second to none.
In standard form puts out 70hp, but when you twin plug it and Gas
flow the heads in comes out around 80hp.
weight is around 70kg complete. Some feel it might be a bit heavy,
but the Xair seems to like flying with it's nose down!!
Will post some pictures and more info as time goes on.
