More on Cool Power cylinders

I was intriqued by liguid cooling before I found Cool Power on the net. I did the research (a lot) to work out a practical conversion of automobile technology for aircraft use but it costs far more than I could afford to build. Forget that idea but in the process I became convinced about liquid cool...

Read Shawn Tulley's article again

I am still following the oil situation as I am sure all of you are. The prospect of building an airplane we couldn't afford to fly is disheartening to say the least. Mr Tulley gives a a fair appraisal of the situation except for one very important aspect. Oil as a commodity is in a class by itself a...

A question has occured to me.

My question, How much trouble would it be to angle both displays so that when you turn your head a bit to look at either, your line of sight would be perpendicular to the display. This could be a way to get almost the same effect as having the displays directly in front of you, like your stacked arr...

Interesting read, but there are many other factors in 2008

Yes, its interesting to read an expert opinion like that, but I find that no expert really gives the big picture for readers of their piece. I worked in the engineering side of the Petro-Chemical industry so I have been paying close attention to the oil issue for at least 25 years or so. The World d...

When I get to the point of needing an engine, I would like to know if the crankcase and other parts like the improved camshaft parts etc. being produced today as copies of the certified engines for use in experimental aircraft can be used with the Cool Power cylinders. These kit engines have some fe...

The reason I started this thread was to find out the answers to your questions. I have never made it to Oshkosh, yet. I would think Cool Power had or would have a booth at Oshkosh, but I have no idea how big the company is. If their fuel economy claims can be substantiated in this time of high fuel ...

I hope I am doing this right. This forum is a new format to me. http://www.liquidcooledairpower.com/cj-overview.shtml I am back to considering these. Lets see what you all think. I have been around air cooled aircraft engines long enough to know that lots of them never made it close to the stated TB...

RV-10 WITH Cool Power cylinders on a 0540

Hi I picked Planeless for a name and I know there are a lot of us Pilots without a plane. After flying a lot of the single engine factory stuff I can see the appeal of the RV-10. I intend to build one myself. Like others I have given much consideration to engines. Without rehashing a lot that you gu...
