I'm looking for the link of the guy in the states that is busy with developing a new 2 stroke engine that was posted here some time ago. He is currently running them in jetboats
Can anybody help me please

No wonder their "bands" sound so cr*ppy - Instead of drums and guitars they use 2 stroke motors
Limkin Park - Must be a 582 in the background
Sorry, early in the morning

Since when? Challenger Microlights are still being built and sold within the USA using the good old 503

Wasn't me who came to my sences but the softness theatened to cut something off
if I got rid of my trike. She is not so partial to the idea of me investing in a closed cockpit blikkie and besides she knows I'll be a misserable sod if I don't have my trike (I was hoping I could convince her to go for the GT 450 but that didn't work - YET)

You won't be the first Airborne Agent to buy a GT450 in SA.......
Glad you are still a triker, can't wait for our 2 Airborne's to meet and do some serious flying

They are putting the clamps on boats, because of water pollution, not so much on bikes and planes - yet.

Hi Andre,
Don't know if it is the same oke you were talking about but he also built his own 2 stroke engine for use in jetboats. There have been over 500 sold in boats (no crank failures yet) with some of them on 1800hrs.
It is an Ozzie company though, not US. How come the Ozzies can build engines and we not?
80hp engine - should be a rocket on a trike!!! There is no news on the site though. If you call them please update the rest of us too.
