The aeromorph engine was the subject of a sports aviation article (EAA magazine). The engine was a narrowed and destroked VW flat 4. I think it ended up being about 1800 cc. A friend of his did the engine work. It is not a twin cylinder. The cowling was built up over the old sheet metal. I think the engine was narrowed 12 inches...
I came here to HEAR it run, that would have been wonderful but instead I get a damn horn playing in my ear whats up, ?? Planes do not sound like horns, they are planes and they should sound like planes, dissappointing !!! jm
That has a modified two cylinder engine called an AeroMorph. The plane was built by David Roe and is no longer flying. I heard he got it up to 170 mph before retiring the plane.
Is he building something else? I remember Dave flying into the copperstate at WGA in the late 90's. I was friends with some guys who were building a modified tricycle gear version of the hummel. They were friends with Dave and took alot of notes from his experience and knowledge.
Do you know if anyone is flying an H-bird with a 4A084 mil engine?

Did you see any shots with the engine running? No it was all ground shots so all you would have heard was background noise anyways, so get over it.
