Oshkosh begins Monday July 24. Most orders during the week long event will be filled during the week of July 31. Gerald Olenik, president of Green Sky Adventures, Inc. will be flying the HKS powered Zippy Sport in from Florida. It most likely will be parked in UL parking near the red barn. Jerry will be working with HKS engines at he HPower exhibit in the UL area.

Kolb HKS update. We have been fortunate to begin communication with a Firestar owner on development of an HKS installation package for the Firestar and Firestar II.  We expect rapid progress on this following Oshkosh.

Quicksilver Sprint II. and HKS.   We're 99 percent with the Quicksilver Sprint II installation development. Thanks to the effort and cooperation of one dedicated owner, our goal of providing a "turn key" package is within sight. We currently have basic mounting, and accessory configuration locked in and readily available. We will get pictures and flight report up on our web site shortly after Oshkosh.

GT 400 HKS
This is as well proven as it is effective. Mounting packages are readily available.  Don't forget, we still take Rotax trades.

Rans S14 / 12 HKS update.  The Rans S14 and our "Low Rider" installation have proven to be better than expected. By keeping the engine as low as possible  and with Carburetors, Exhaust, and Oil Cooler ahead of the engine, CG works out great and drag is reduced.  The pilot of the first flying example with the mounting solution reports improved performance over the previous Rotax 582.  This concept has worked so well, it will be seriously considered for other upcoming popular top mount pusher conversions.

Zenith 701 / HKS. We currently have two owner installations in the works. One is a new scratch built example, the other is replacing a Rotax 582.  The first one should be flying in the next couple of weeks. To our knowledge, this will be the first HKS powered 701 in the US. Of course, we hope to follow up with these to make the HKS 700-E the logical power choice for this aircraft.

Kitfox / HKS
With over 150 hours on our converted Kitfox, and hours accumulating on other HKS Foxes. It's practically a given, the HKS-700e is the best game in town when powering the Kitfox.

We've added a couple of pages on HKS Mounting Details. If you're thinking about converting to the HKS 4 stroke, mounting may be easier than you think.  Click HERE to view the first page.  BTW as of May 13, 2005, the operating cost savings by changing to HKS from Rotax 582 on our Kitfox is around $670. We'll update that log frequently. It's at CLICK

Comparing cost of operation. HKS vs. 2-stroke. In 500 hours the economic waste of 2 stroke operations exceeds the cost of a new HKS-700e 4 stroke.  It's like paying for an engine you never get. Check it out HERE
