2 questions (other than hell yeah thats awesome):
what happens under heavy Gs, must have oil starvation?!
What happens when a rod goes through the block!

[7057sam]

Needs clones and a 40 mm drop......

[darrenjlobb]

Dont want that bugger spitting a rod!!

[bigcheez2k3]

Doesn't sound rattly enough to be an XUD

[pioneer DJ paddy]

That's cool as f*ck lol but as much as I love xud dont think i wouldnt put one in a plane lol if she spits the dummy out our fu*ked   :-) plus people be low might get a rod to the head lol any way its still class lol

Dodgy as f*ck fuel cut off - that will do a grand total of sweet FA if the throttle is even remotely off idle - no chance it'd stop the engine... You need a cutoff switch to the actual fuel supply.

Very cool nonetheless.

that's darrenjlobb other project! just think if it was darrens, stage one etc!

[RetroPug]

Would you actually want a road car engine in an aeroplane given that you want high torque at low rpm?

[Ruan]

Well, you just match the prop to the motor...

If anything you actually want high power at high rpms to swing a bigger prop and move more air when flat out...

The issue lies with standard road going engines that that they were never designed for continuous high speed, high load operation... XUDs don't especially like making 90hp at 4300rpm all day long... After a friend of mine working for an aero diesel company and seeing the sort of testing they endure, there's no way an XUD9 would put up with it making 90hp unless quite a few changes were made...
