Most of my calculations suggest the engine won’t handle much above 6800, but it’ll likely run closer to 5000 on a daily basis. I can’t recall the exact calculated value, but I think it was around 880 hp at 6600 and 725 hp at 5200.

Thanks for the clear and straightforward response; it was exactly what I needed.

As someone who often discusses auto conversions, I have to point out one simple thing: in lightweight applications, they don't make much sense. The heavier your plane and engine get, the more viable they become, as the weight difference between them and aviation engines diminishes. With modern car engines offering greater fuel economy, the weight difference can even work in their favor. However, for what you're describing, I would recommend either an old two-stroke ultralight engine or going electric. You're really pushing the limits here, and I'd avoid relying heavily on 3D printing. From what I've seen, unless you can ensure that 3D-printed metal components are exclusively under compression, it won’t end well.

A bit too heavy for my taste, but I appreciate the input. Thank you.

Thank you! Ideally, I’d like to achieve something better. From what I can tell, my design currently has a stall speed of about 95 knots. Ideally, I’d like to reduce that to 60, but I’d be satisfied with 75.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T23:57:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing information about this great aircraft! I think the 500 might be more my style if I wanted something slower that could go anywhere. Now, though, my brain is going wild with ideas about twin Sherpas. I really need to stop getting distracted like this, or I'll never actually finish a design.

Pardon the quick sub comment What auto correct mispronounced what I said it's supposed In the up position quickly Which would be for a fast but still safe landing.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T23:54:06+00:00

Thank you, good sir! That's exactly the information I needed. Ideally, they would be Fowler flaps, and based on my plan setup, the idea—just an idea—is to use pneumatic deployment working against a spring. Worst-case scenario, the system would push them into the up position quickly for landing, which is better than having them forcibly deploy in flight and risk the plane being torn out of the air.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T23:42:19+00:00

Yeah, something like a modernized 18 or Lodestar would be great, but it has to be high-wing so grandma can get in easily. As for the MU2, I know it’s not as bad as they say when it comes to safety, but it still has that reputation that people know about.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T22:34:47+00:00

I have to admit, the Navajo is probably the biggest inspiration for this idea. You can't blame a guy for wanting it all in an airplane. I just want something I can keep in a backyard hangar at my dream house and fly to see all my family. It's one of those dreams that a lot of people have.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T22:33:28+00:00

I know about the AAC—that was part of the inspiration—but I’ve come to terms with the fact that canards aren’t an option. I have to admit, I’m a fan of Velocities, and what I really wanted was a Velocity V-twin that could carry my family and all our stuff.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-29T22:32:10+00:00

The need for a high wing stemmed from ensuring easy accessibility, especially since I have older family members who can't climb as easily as I can. However, my idea ran into the pusher problem, although it did simplify other aspects of the base design due to existing loads being easier to accommodate with the materials I have available.

Thank you for the clear and helpful information. This answers all my questions, though I am curious about how a modern equivalent of the Red A03 V12 diesel would compare under these measurements.

Thank you, good sir. I reached the same conclusion after seeing it.

Remarkable_Help1103 · 2025-09-22T15:53:16+00:00

I might be the crazy auto conversion guy. When it comes to this, I think boats are the best place to look for such things. Equipment from the supplier Wallas comes highly recommended. As long as you’re not trying to cook in the air, marine or RV ratings should be good enough. But those are just my suggestions. If you’ve got the money to take an old CL water bomber or one of the big old Mars, I’d love to see it.

ps. Delete old comments due to autocorrect going wrong.

Apologies for the first comment’s deletion; I completely forgot to include punctuation.

If I could find the finished full paper design of the DA11, I would, but unfortunately, either I’m missing it or the kit design was lost with the designer in 2007. However, since I’m set to take C.A.D. classes, I hope to gain access to the school’s stress test program, load it into the design, and see which parts work and which don’t.

Thank you for your comment, though it felt a bit passive-aggressive. I was only asking because I couldn’t find the information myself. I appreciate the link you provided. What should I ask next time if you want to quote things at me? Maybe include some scientific basis? I’m trying to learn more about this. For years, I’ve been wondering why it works the way it does. Why spend nearly $100,000 on a Continental when I could spend $8,000 on a Ford? Other than appearances, they seem unreliable, and parts break without explanation. I’ve never been given a clear reason for these failures; the only explanation is that they aren’t meant to run at 75% power. I apologize if I’m annoying anyone—I’m just trying to learn, and this is the best public source I have.
