Yamaha RX1 snowmobile engine to aircraft adapter

One thing to Note: The steel band will need to be removed from the rubber disc once it is mounted to the Flywheel.

Hello! Could you respond, to continue the conversation? Oleg

[@kellychapman5142]

Great video. What do you think a realistic conversion would cost after purchasing all the main components? A new 100hp rotax is around 20,000

[@cohocarl]

Teal, I wish I had 1/2 of your abilities & knowledge. Thank you for sharing with us. Question...I see the 3 cylinder in the FX Nytro sleds have a slightly lower rpm range which might be beneficial, but can't find too much information on this engine. Looking up part numbers, the inner crankcase cover has very similar, but not exactly the same number as the RX1 engine. Would your adapter also work on the 3 cylinder FX Nytro engine? Thx.

[@mopar92]

What’s the Rotax box rated for HP wise? Nice work. Love the innovation.

[@draaktatsu]

Do you know if you could do acrobatics with this engine? From what I understand automotive engines fall apart upside down and with too many negative Gs. Thanks!

[@davomoto42]

I'm very new to this subject, but I wouldn't use this type engine for aerobatics. I think for general aviation use I would convert the automotive engine to a dry oil sump to avoid oil starvation at the different attitudes and g-loads an aircraft experiences. That's just my very novice take on it.

[@alodiacaitlyncalimlim9071]

G loads on ICE is not new, but an oil starvation and fuel flow and not using force induction will destroy your dream to fly

Hi. Can i use this adapter on the Yamaha sidewinder engine ? 3syl turbo from sleds.

[@davebar2017]

Questions. Whats the weight of this rx1 & rotex c setup? It seems undoable for a conventional tractor design unless you wanted the head above the cowl ?

[@garyvanmeter4911]

I just read that Rotax is discontinuing the c box and going to the e box. Will this fit the e box?

[@Birddog66]

how do I get a hold of you a out the adapter. i can't find a website

[@rv7builder397]

Hi Teal, I've seen some internet rumors that you're now making a 3-gear reduction, to make the prop turn the right way. But 'the google' is failing me trying to find any info on it. I've even tried that Devil's spawn, facebook, but still no luck. If the rumor's true, do you have a website with specs, pricing, etc? Thanks, Charlie

[@88ESCORTGT]

I been trying to send you a private message and I just can't find how. I was told that you are working on a new adapter with re-drive for the Yamaha engines could you give us some details the engine types? and what ratio you will have available.

[@MrJolppy]

The gearbox is it an a b or a c? That your are installing it would have been nice to known at the first of the video

[@hunterjones9822]

C Gearbox, he says it twice @0:56

[@paulkainer269]

So how do we order from you?

[@jimchuk8511]

What determines how much you need to machine off the C gear box. Thanks, Jim

[@adjaindlovu692]

will the adapter work on a YZF-R1 engine?..

[@jasongalbraith297]

Will this adapter work with the Yamaha Phazer 500 cc 4 stroke motor? They appear to use very similar internal gear reduction drives.

[@tealjenkins2427]

+Jason Galbraith , No they have different output covers.

[@AdamsTubing]

+teal jenkins what about the Apex? Very nice looking conversion! Me want

[@AdamsTubing]

hello, can you make a backing plate for any 4 stroke snowmobile engine? 140 is way more hp than i need and i have another smaller engine in mind. email?

[@88ESCORTGT]

I saw a post of you that you made 1 hour ago and there is a case cover with reduction gears for the Yamaha Apex engine could you pm me details about this. I have no way of contacting you I can't call you I'm in Canada

[@londonivey4294]

How does one get ahold of you to buy this? Thanks

teal jenkins can you write your number starting with country kay thank you

[@mastermoarman]

How do we contact you?

[@Armilite1]

How about a Billet Single Case with Rotax Provision 8 Data based off a Skidoo/Rotax Single for the Ultralight crowd. Ideally, a Skidoo/Rotax 340 TNT Single Type Case with a Skidoo 550F(76mm) Reed Fed Cylinder. With a 277UL 66mm Crank (76mm x 66mm) 299.5cc, with a 68mm Stroke, (76mm x 68mm) 308.6cc, with a 70mm Crank, (76mm x 70mm) 317.6cc. 550F Cylinders have been Big Bored to 81mm, (81mm x 70mm) 360.8cc. 299cc if 90% efficient at 6500rpms = 41hp 308cc if 90% efficient at 6500rpms = 42hp 317cc if 90% efficient at 6500rpms = 44hp 360cc if 90% efficient at 6500rpms = 50hp

I found online a post you made 1 hour ago that you are making a cover with reduction gear for the apex engine could you tell us the model and engine CC? could you PM me your email?

[@tealjenkins2427]

I do not have a website Interested parties can contact me directly at 623 734-0185. Teal.

[@battmann678]

It seems you oversimplify this installation by a whole lot.

[@GTgyro]

I think his video is very detailed and fully information for the purpose of installing a great adapter.

[@kellychapman5142]

Batt Mann did you want him to read you the step by step instructions? It did exactly what I was looking for, to see how it worked, and weigh out if it was something I wanted to look into. Don’t be so self righteous in thinking the Men that are looking into this conversion are to simple to problem solve, after all they’re building a freaking airplane...obviously.

[@tealjenkins4716]

no. i am only building a adapter for the rx-1 engine at this time
