Hexadyne P60 twin cylinder 4 stroke engine.
|
|
|
Back in 2002 I did an interview with Fred Parker who
had installed a Hexadyne P60 twin cylinder opposed four stroke
engine on his Skyraider. At that time the engine was still in the
prototype stage and the bugs were being worked out.
At Airventure 2005 Fred was back with his Skyraider
in the Hexatron Engineering Co. booth. Apparently the P60 is now in
production and 20 engines have been delivered to customers. |
|
According to Fred the engine runs very smooth even down at
an idle, and has plenty of power. The P60 is using electronic
ignition with each cylinder having it's own transformer.
The P60 uses a very simple direct fuel injection system,
that has only four sensors. This eliminates the possibility of carb icing,
since the fuel and air enter the engine through two different ports.
Another advantage of the fuel injection is temperature and altitude
compensation.
For fine tuning while flying the engine also has an
auxiliary mixture control in the cabin.
The engine puts out 60 H.P. uses a 2.50 to 1 gear
reduction, maximum sustained r.p.m is 6,000 and cruise r.p.m. comes in at
4700. Current T.B.O. is predicted to be 1200 hours with a rebuild cost
estimated at around $800.00.
