And the CRX HF ran a D15B6 (?) good for ~65 HP, and with tall gears it was a serious fuel sipper.

I certainly like them and would have been playing with them in an application like this years ago... but since they spin the opposite direction to 99% of the rest of engines out there, that gets to be a bit of an issue!
