FULL TRHOTTLE !

I wanted to use an IC engine as main power source from the very begining.

I chose a 196cc 4 800W (6.5hp) 4 stroke engine. It includes both manual and electric start. The engine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch, which simplifies my work a lot. It is a "LIFAN 168F-2D-B" engine.

Servos were quite easy to add and worked very well right away. 3kg.cm torque proves to be enough.
closest servo : choke
other servo : throttle

The engine will be fixed on 4 anti vibration mounts. I also had to add a couple profils to stiffen the base plate, so that it doesn't bend under engine's torque.

TO BE CONTINUED....
