Manufacturer/H
& I Power Plants
No longer in production - information JDT Mini Max
Jim Holbrook and Larry Israel of H &
I Powerplants, Inc., are pleased report that the new
4-cycle, Thunder Chief 602 engines are now being delivered
to light plane enthusiasts.
Our development of a 4-cycle power plant for an aviation
application began in September of 1995.
We were searching for an affordable unit that would be
comparable to the 30 and 40 horsepower range of 2- cycle
engines currently available. |
|
|
Our
main objective was dependability and simplicity We also
wanted to incorporate an electric starter and alternator.
The heart of our power plant is a factory rebuilt Citroen,
602 engine that is modified, and retrofitted with a-prop
speed-reduction. We have also built into the engine a rugged
electric starter with an 8 amp hour alternator. The Mukuni
34mm VM carburetors provide the final touch for power and
fuel economy.
All Thunder Chief engines are power tested on our new THRUST-DYNO
system. Engine thrust, correct temperatures and all engine
functions are documented in the engine log book which is
provided with each engine sold at H&I Power Plants. This log
book also includes maintenance schedules, adjustment
settings, and vital information for installation and proper
maintenance.
Factory support, replacement
parts & accessories are just a
phone call away.
