Re: Thought Experiment
' Absolutely I have thought about it and suggested it to this forum a couple of years ago. It was roundly (no pun intended) shot down by the traditionalists, though. I find the M14P a little long for the F24, but its ancestor, the much more plentiful and cheap Housai HS-6 of 240 to 285 hp, seems just right. It is virtually identical in diameter to the Warner SS, so it would have little to no effect aesthetically, unlike the Continental and Jacobs you see now and then. It’s lighter than either of those, as well as the M14P. It’s horsepower is more in line with the F24 airframe, too. It has cylinders of about the same displacement as the Warner, but has 9 of them instead of seven. The HS-6 is used in the very desirable CJ-6 Chinese military trainer that has been imported here in some numbers. Parts and overhaul availability are good. The Zhuzhou HS-6 is the Chinese license-built version of the Ivchenko AI-14, from which the Vedeneyev M14P was developed. These are very good engines.
