SABERWING TRICYCLE GEAR PROTOTYPE is also our demo unit as an LSA bird to learn what we need to do to keep our Saberwing within LSA limits. With the 100 HP Spyder Engine we can cruise at 135 - just under LSA requirements. N100SW now has 75+ hours on it

NEW PRODUCTS FOCUS PAGE!
We will be focusing on one of our products as we update our products pages. There will be descriptions, updates, and information that will help you understand our products better. This week we will focus on DISTRIBUTORS!
Turbocharging the Saberwing...
We started working on a turbocharger package for our Spyder Engine Conversions a few months ago and have completed about 120 hours of flight testing to date. We have seen a significant improvement in the climb and cruise performance of the Saberwing. Full details will be coming shortly. Check out the videos on our facebook page for some fun turbo stuff... Here is a sample video...https://youtu.be/I8Zmi0UFS6k
UPDATE: 2-20-2019 - We have been flying our turbo setup for two years now and about 250 hours. We are currently breaking down the engine partway to do an inspection of the heads/pistons/cylinders and part of the bottom end to see how the parts are holding up. So far everything looks like normal wear and other than an early ring issue on one piston all has held up well. The plan is to reassemble everything and contiue flying the engine another 250 hours before another check. Turbos can be harder on engines and we would like to see where we can improve or modify to have a dependable powerplant.

The BASICS of SIMPLICITY
How? Find new ways to use old ideas that are proven. Learn from those who have gone before and bring to market products that are easy to use, cost effective and reliable.
Why? If you don't have it, it won't break!" Simplicity allows for less parts count, better reliability and lower cost for purchasing and maintenance. This becomes apparent as you learn about our product line.
What? Our Products are currently focused on our SPYDER series of engines that will be continually upgraded. We service and provide parts for these engines. For installation purposes we have developed Firewall Forward Kits and components for some common aircraft kits currently on the market. We provide engine components and information for the "do it yourself" experimental Corvair engine builder. Aircraft kit components (gear, wing skins, wing tanks, and more) will become available soon.
