Gesoco Industries of Swanton, Vermont, and S.C. Motorstar of Bacau, Romania,
have developed a new radial engine design for experimental homebuilt
aircraft. The five-cylinder R-263 is planned for three different variants,
125-, 150- or 180-horsepower. The basic engine will be a naturally aspirated
five-cylinder radial weighing in at about 220 lbs with accessories. The
33-inch diameter, 27-inch long air-cooled engine will feature electric
start, a 35-amp alternator, a throttle body injection system and dual
ignition. Designer Viorel Andries is the chief designer at S.C. Motorstar,
producers of the M-14P engine. Plans are to have a display engine at Sun 'n
Fun 2005, with a flying example at Oshkosh. Projected price is about $18,000
including the accessories and warranty. For more information, visit
