'*New Radial Engine Planned for Homebuilts*
Gesoco Industries of Swanton, Vermont, and S.C. Motorstar of Bacau,
Romania, have developed a new radial engine design for experimental
homebuilt aircraft. The five-cylinder R-263 is planned for three
different variants, 125-, 150- or 180-horsepower. The basic engine will
be a naturally aspirated five-cylinder radial weighing in at about 220
lbs with accessories. The 33-inch diameter, 27-inch long air-cooled
engine will feature electric start, a 35-amp alternator, a throttle body
injection system and dual ignition. Designer Viorel Andries is the chief
designer at S.C. Motorstar, producers of the M-14P engine. Plans are to
have a display engine at Sun 'n Fun 2005, with a flying example at
Oshkosh. Projected price is about $18,000 including the accessories and
warranty. For more information, visit http://www,gesoco.com or call
