QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
| 1. | What are the advantages of the P60 over a 2-stroke and over other comparable engines? Why should I buy the P60? |
| 2-stroke engines are: inefficient, hard to fabricate, rough running, hard to start, hard to induce with vaporized fuel and cheap to build. The P60 is smooth and quiet running, is fuel efficient and power efficient; simple design and reliable. Cylinder head cooling system is superior to HKS and all Rotax. Hirth engines. The unique design that allows RAM air to cool Overhead valves. With the Engine Management Unit (EMU) there are no other engine adjustments required. | |
| 2. | What type of motor mounts will be used? |
| Dynafocal. Hexadyne will design and produce motor mounts at an additional cost of $250 to $450. | |
| 3. | Will it use metric or English |
| English | |
| 4. | What is the fuel consumption? |
| 42 - .44 lbs. per BHP per hour = 3 gallons per hour of running at full 60hp | |
| 5. | Will it require an additional fuel pump? |
| No, the fuel pump will be an integral part of the total package. | |
| 6. | Will there be electronic ignition? |
| Yes, we use computer controlled ignition which lessens the need for dual ignition. This is much more reliable than magnetos. | |
| 7. | Will an oil cooler be needed? |
| This will depend on your installation, depending on the cooling efficiency of the heads, also it depends on the amount of ground running you will need to do. | |
| 8. | What kind of oil filter will be used? |
| A commercial motorcycle type. | |
| 9. | What will the propeller bolt pattern be? |
| A standard approved design will be used | |
| 10. | Can I use this engine as a pusher rather than a puller? |
| Yes, but with some minor adjustments. Ducts will need to be added to direct the air flow toward the engine if direct airflow is impeded. | |
| 11. | Does the prop flange turn right or left when facing it? |
| When facing it, the prop will turn counter clockwise. | |
| 12. | Since the prop speed is not excessive, can I use a larger prop if I have the clearance? |
| You can use any prop you want, as long as the tip speed does not exceed around 550 miles an hour, although refer to your prop manufacturer. | |
| 13. | Does the engine management system include all the engine instruments: |
| The EMU is capable of driving instruments, such as engine speed, oil temp and air temp. | |
| 14. | What time will be required for rebuild? |
| The rebuild will be completed at the factory | |
| 15. | What will the availability of parts be? |
| All serviceable parts will be available as spares | |
| 16. | Can parts from other engines, or commercially produced parts, be used (i.e. can parts from a VW or other engine be used)? |
| No. All parts, crankshaft, con rods, pistons, camshafts are unique to the P60 engine although they will all be available as spares. | |
| 17. | Will design schematics be available? |
| The operating manual will be available for maintenance and troubleshooting. | |
| 18. | What carburetors will be used? |
| There are no carburetors. This engine is controlled by a very advanced, electronic control unit. It will deal with all fueling, ignition, cold starting and altitude correction | |
| 19 | Can the engine be bought and used with electronic ignition? |
| No. The engine management already contains computer controlled ignition timing, with all the advance maps included. | |
| 20. | Will the exhaust system use a tuned pipe or can it be straight piped? |
| Exhaust system will be be owner provided. As the engine is a 4 stroke, the need for a tuned exhaust is not so critical, a straight through system with conventional mufflers can be used with no loss of efficiency |
