A little boy went up to his father and asked, "Dad, where did all of my
intelligence come from?"
His father replied, "Well, son, you must have gotten it from your
mother, because I still have mine." |

Jim
Holbrook and Larry Israel o to f H & I Powerplants, Inc., are pleased
report that the new 4-cycle, Thunder Chief 602 engines are now being
delivered to light plane enthusiasts.
Our development of a 4-cycle power plant for an aviation application began
in September of 1995. We were searching for an affordable unit that would
be comparable to the 30 and 40 horsepower range of
2- cycle engines currently available. Our main objective was dependability
and simplicity We also want- ed to incorporate an electric starter and
alternator.
The heart of our power plant is a factory rebuilt Citroen, 602 engine that
is modified, and retrofitted with
a-prop speed-reduction. We have also built into the engine a rugged
electric starter with an 8 amp hour alternator.
The Mukuni 34mm VM carburetors provide the final touch for power and fuel
economy.
All Thunder Chief engines are power tested on our new THRUST-DYNO system.
Engine thrust, correct temperatures and all engine functions are
documented in the engine log book which is provided with
each engine sold at H&I Power Plants. This log book also includes
maintenance schedules, adjustment settings, and vital information for
installation and proper maintenance.
Factory
support, replacement parts & accessories are just a phone call away.
