Drew, I wish you the best of luck building your plane. Someday I hope to build my own, and it'd be icing on the cake to put a Subaru engine in it.
Keep us up-to-date on your prject, please!

Subaru powered airplanes
Subaru makes some really kick-butt homebuilt airplane conversions. I know of many folks flying behind one. They are light, powerful and rock-solid dependable. As far as liquid-cooling, it's just as difficult to develop an air-cooled installation. AND air cooled engines develop problems unique to them.
As far as locating the radiator, etc., the way to ensure trouble-free cooling is to either a) set up a venturi in the nose, or b) put the radiator as far back on the fuse as possible. This allows most of the heat energy to dissipate, and certain aircraft have been built that lack a radiator entirely; they just use the water lines running to the tail and back for cooling. I love airplanes; I'm an A&P/Avionics mechanic, and my wife is a pilot, training for her IFR rating. We are truly made for each other. Thanks for the messages. Drew |

SVX Plane....
since it would be made from an SVX, wouldn't he be able to come to one of the meets (quicker and easier) and show off his flying contraption along with our cars?!?!?! I think that it would be cool
