"So you're saying..." you prefer corporate logos over planished sheet metal?

The best one is the Typ Delphin, you'll see when you go there.

not suprising, the flatfour issa versatile engine. And with the typical mild-cam, they are fairly reliable with regular service. Though they hold up pretty well under abuse too, if you just dont let it run lean

The 36hp was legendary. Cylinder #3 was the weak link. I ponder what one could do with a 3D scan of that cast aluminum lower shroud and a printer.

The windscreen I sketched out at Permalink #455 is in progress. I mocked it up first with PVC pipe to get the dimensions. Then I tried strips of redwood. Better, but the third attempt is curved metal strips intended for putting 1 1/2" radius edges on sheet rock.
I'll cover it with 4mm poly for photos. Ultimately it should be Lexan or rusty perf metal with a flip-down hatch like a scout car.
