Re: Hirth F30
Nevertheless Hirth is a German company and I am a German living in Germany, almost anything I hear about the stronger Hirth engines is bad reports. Especially when it comes to the new engines with fuel injection. They also have the reputation of not being too accommodating. Initially I thought that...

Here you will find the F30 models and specs and prices. http://www.recpower.com/f302c11.htm Just on a personal note, I would choose the fan cooled model, that way I know it will be cooled properly, because the factory designed the cooling system and secondly the life of the engine will be longer. Ki...

Re: Justin's Raven
Thanks Boet,
Thanks for the pics, very neat installation, no air is wasted there.
What is the highest number of hours achieved on an engine with your cooling baffles before the heads needed a valve job.
Kind regards,
Gunter Rostek.

Negative is you will replace some weight with the redive. What type of belt do you plan on using Toothed type or Polyvee type. ...
