ADVANTAGES?

The Rear Drive Systems drives the prop off the flywheel end of the engine and is direct drive. All thrust and radial loads are taken up at the thrust bearing located in the nose of the Rear Drive System. Torque is transmitted to the prop through a torsional rubber dampener that "floats" on the flywheel.

Sleeker cowling, ability to use heavier props, use of compositie and muti-blade props, 40+ amps of electrical power, less expensive engine kit and ignition system. The torsional dampener and bed type mount make for one of the smoothest running engines you've ever flown behind.

These kits feature every part necessary to assemble the entire long block engine. All machine work has been completed, such as cylinder head boring, cc'ing the heads, case boring, clearancing for stroke, etc.

The 2180cc engine with Rear Drive weighs 180 lbs. (This does not include the caruretor, intake or the prop. The Rear Drive Unit itself weighs 37 lbs.)
