One of these , came up for sale on Ebay . I contacted the seller
to inquire of it's hours . I was really interested ; so i tracked down
the new owner of it's design ; wanted to see about rebuild parts .
A company in China , purchased the design rights and they replied
that they have few parts , and are out of production, for many years.
I replied that their company should reconsider bringing this engine
back into production ; it's power to weight will sit perfectly into a
lot of pilots mission's. I also suggested they increase the stroke a bit
to slow down the rpm ; thus making a 25-hp engine, with tuns of torque
and it would spin a slightly larger prop, making it more efficient.
The original Konig on Ebay ; it makes 25 hp , and weighs 37-Lb ,with it's E-start.
Thoughts ; was i out of line , with that suggestion ?
