I am looking into the possibility of converting a BMW R1100GS for aircraft use. Apparently it has been done very successfully overseas, but some questions remain:
1. Before anyone jumps the gun, yes, I have contacted Spang Air in Germany, since their aircraft uses it, and I am awaiting feedback & information from them.
2. Has anyone here stateside done this conversion?
3. If so, where did you source parts from?
4. Do you have any drawing packages available (for motor mount design & electrical)?
5. Is there a "conversion kit" available out there?
Again, this is just research at this point, since I have read that this engine conversion can be a very suitable economical alternative to the Rotax 912.
Let me know, and I will be most appreciative!
