A two-stroke cycle, twin-crankshaft, geared, simultaneous firing spark ignition engine was designed and built. The engine utilizes several high production parts including cylinders from the Homelite 270 industrial engine. The twin-crankshaft, geared configuration allows almost complete engine balance with the resulting exceptionally low vibration levels. The geared output also permits the engine output speed to be matched to airframe and propeller requirements for maximum efficiency. Separated crankcases provide better fuel/air distribution contributing to a low idle speed and giving better operation during maneuvers. (Kursetz)
