Now that the V8 is nearly on the road, it's surely about time to start Thinking About upgrade paths?

Last ADS-B data on adsbexchange says - 174kts GS 32640 feet per min descent = 322kts Vector addition gives (Pythagoras) 366kts This was at about 10,000 ft and terrain is about 5,000. I think NTSB said that the horizontal stab assembly was found 1/2 mile from the aircraft. I think it was...

I write from zero experience. I happened to see a video the other day of someone constructing a flight path movie using Flightaware ADS-B position data, Google Earth Studio and Blender. Blender is free. Googling - blender architectural modelling gets loads of hits. Reminder - I know not of...

That's the South Pole - I guess.

Yeah, since 1922. https://www.oldbikemag.com.au/spin-doctors-rotary-valve-cylinder-head/ Actually a very nice article covering a lot of rotary valve 4-stroke ideas. Maybe worth digging into the publication some more?

A few ideas here that might help with the modification program.

The introduction has the best idea, shoot cats at it. They will rip it to pieces.:rolleyes:

Sounds reasonable. Or maybe a low tech solution? Not the ship, the chain shot.

I don't believe that it had propellers or a rudder.

Some images from the news.

Not dangerous at all, well the pilot died in his bed at the age of 78. The story of the stunt:-

More on V8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_MGB "MG never attempted to export the MGB GT V8 to the United States. " The V8 engine is reportedly a bit lighter than the B series. No idea what gearbox/axle was used.

MG did it. Rover V8 into MGB. No idea what was changed. https://www.mgownersclub.co.uk/mg-guides/mgb/mgb-gtv8

Hmmm. Image appears to be 10s after touchdown. If the wind had happened to turn the aircraft the other way with the water rushing in the open door this guy could have been in BIG trouble.

I had a look at Westchester Airport due to the recent crash and noticed a crazy building near the Runway 34 flightpath. It is noted as a Lighted Obstruction 3500ft from the end of the runway and offset 600ft to the side with a 37 to 1 angle. It is a tower, with a long possibly retractable pole...

I read the other day that Hertz have just ordered a large number of EVs. 350k? Can't quite remember exactly. Possibly this is globally. 40% charge on delivery of a rental EV is unacceptable.

OK. Juggling those components, the obvious answer is turbo V8 in the RX7.
