There are only two lines coming from the tank, the vent and feed lines. The vent just hangs out the bottom and of course the feed line is attached to the carb. This view is from the carb side of the engine. This is a view from the exhaust side of the Homelite. The engine crank case is smooth and straight making for a neat installation, especially helpful since the engine is not cowled in.
Future plans are to make and install an engine cowl.
My photographic expertise is not very good, but if you look closely, you will see the muffler that Dave is making for this engine. As you might expect, flight performance is much improved with the Homelite engine. Although the plane will not sustain a vertical climb, it does have a great climb rate. The plane will perform all the basic sport aerobatics now with ease. A small amount of tail weight was added to bring the cg back in line because this engine is a little heavier than the Weed Eater engine.
