Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 11:40 pmThat was my Snoopy at Big Bay last year, and indeed they are Chrysler
Power Bee's. The engines are still made by U.S. Motor Power and parts are available.
They put out 8hp at 5500 rpm or so...mine turn up around 4900 for take off and back to
4500 or so for snooping around....Halls shows 43 or so at that rpm, and the gps
confirms it.....I flew it up to Dale's last year, and intend to fly up again next week....
it takes about an hour and twenty min. from my strip due south....be pleased to talk to
to y'all then........Peter
