old engine designs?
SAS, you have completely misread the beauty of the Lycosaurus. It is 'perfectly' designed for what it is trying to do. It is not old fashioned in any way at all. The fuel consumption can be better than any modern automotive engine.
Compare it to the Rotax, which is an abortion of a 'modern' engine with so many unnecessary points of failure that the Lycosaurus just doesn't have.
The carb-fed Lycosaurus is exactly the right amount of technology for the job.
If you disagree, which obviously you do, tell me the features that it is missing and how they will dramatically improve the end result?
