I'm so VERY glad that the Phazer is indeed working out for you! I'm also hoping that what you SEEM to be implying is also happening, which is what I suggested to you long ago (which I believe was already in your noggin), that you are in the nascent format of creating a Phazer Biz for Alternative Engines for ELSA's.......getting rid of those fuel hogging 582's, offering an AFFORDABLE alternative to the HKS's and Rotax 4 Strokes! Happier than one of Ivar's Clams that it really is beginning to take form for you...! Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY

I just came in to say hello from a video Jonas posted yesterday that you commented on. I'm from a smidgen S of Flint and try to follow most anyone I come across from MI here, TikTok and IG. I'm interested in flying but probably won't due to $ and my priority now is getting back on my Goldwing to see the country after getting grounded for 2 years. Our fam had a cabin a few miles north of the catastrophic dam failure for many years. Are near there bc you mentioned beets in a prev vid.

Hey man cool plane , question for you how did you get the sled cluster to show you airspeed? Is there a part I can order to do that same thing ?

I bet you get much better mpg with the fazer over the 582 ,I would like to see a comparison.

Could you build another mount for a kitfox? I want to get rid of the 582 so bad. I would love to do a phazer swap.

It's kinda hilarious just how much this sounds like a motorbike. Seems to go alright though. Are you getting full RPM on takeoff?

I had a Phazer snowmobile. It was a great sled but that was decades ago. I also have an Avid Flyer with a 582 and a Kolb. I really don't see any advantage of a Phazer motor especially considering the work needed to do the conversion. My Phazer was a 2 stroke. I'm pretty sure I would have lost power had I tried to adapt a 4 stroke muffler to my sled.
The prop seems way too close to the cowlings. Don't you think?

Hi Ben awesome work. I’m very close to finishing my model 1 kitfox with a phazer using your adapter plate. I’m stuck on the air box now. Is there anyway I can buy your air box or the file? I’m also gonna order your speed sensor!

Hi Ben I have a challenging project that currently have a 582. The challenge is the engine is and how down the gear box needs to be. My plane is a Streak Shadow (British ultralight). Can you check the model and let me know if is possible to install the phaser on it. I don't want to buy an engine that is no going to work in my airframe.
