The Hanger 9 Beaver with 110 inch wing and I put in the Evolution 35cc 7 piston engine

Ran up the radial Evo today with the glow driver, ran nice. Don't even need to use a starter after its warmed up. Now to put it in the plane.

looking good.

I like this. Looks good.

Bad news on the Radial Beaver. I spoke with Horizon after I could not get the Beaver off the ground during the picnic and was told that the 35 cc will not work for it. I need to get the 77cc size. I purchased the plane and motor at the same time last February and I was told that the 35cc is good for it and will fit the cowl and will fly. Now they say it was an error. They are willing to take back the 35cc at a restock fee of 15% and then I'll have to buy the 77cc. That $179.00 down the drain but its better than loosing out and ending up with a perfect working 35cc radial that I can't use. Update soon.

The DHC 2 Beaver is getting a new heart. Just made a deal with a club member who is selling me his 77cc evo 7 cylinder which is more than enough to get this big Beaver aloft.

Ready to fly again. Now with the 77cc Radial
