HKS Back in production offering  NEW 700E

Ellington, CT - HKS, the Shizouka, Japan-based manufacturer of performance automotive parts and aircraft engines, has begun production of a new version of the HKS-700E. The HKS is a four-stroke engine used in Light aircraft, PPCs and Trikes. In development and testing for nearly two years, the new 700E has improved cooling performance and has been further optimized for pusher installations. 
 The HKS 700E is a 60HP, horizontally opposed, two-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The 700E uses a combination of high technology and simplicity to achieve the twin goals of high power output and reliability. HKS delivered a new generation of 700E to HPower last year to field qualify the engine for sale in the US. 

HKS will replace all engines delivered to owners of the previous model as part of honoring the warranty. 

“We are pleased to be associated with a company like HKS,” states HPower President, Tom Peghiny. “HKS has shown that corporate responsibility is not hypothetical. We have, through their support, kept HKS owners in the air during this long period of development and testing.” 
HPower delivered over 80 engines and to date they have been installed in over 20 types of aircraft. The engine is now offered as an “official” option on aircraft such as the ASAP Chinook, the Hytek Hurricane, Flightstars, Harmening’s High Flyers, Thunder Gull Odyssey, CGS Hawk and, most recently, the Murphy Maverick and Sky Raider lightplanes.

On Sunday, September 3, 2000, Drainville Aviation and the members of the Louiseville Aerosport Club are once again inviting all pilots in Quebec, the Maritimes, Upper New England and eastern Ontario to fly-in for an old fashioned Quebec country get together with music, hotdogs, refreshments and good company! Any kind of light and ultralight aircraft is welcome to join us for this special day. Last year we were thrilled to see over 80 aircraft visit during that brilliant, warm day!

The airfield is located 1 km from the center of bustling downtown Louiseville. This picturesque little Quebec town is located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River just 20 kms west of Trois-Rivieres and 110 kms east of Montreal on Highway 40.

When you arrive, the airfield frequency to use will be 122.8 and the runway will be either 27 or 9 using left-hand circuits. Ground traffic will be guided by club member "officials" using radios who will be dressed in colourful "uniforms" (red hats and t-shirts). We ask you to respect instructions of the controllers to ensure safety on the ground as well as in the air. (No aerobatic, formation or demonstration flying can be permitted during a fly-in.)

Club pilots and members of their families will be there to welcome you and accomodate any need you might have such as refreshments, food, restrooms, a First Aid station, gas or just good conversation! Unserviced camping spots are also available at the airfield and an above-ground pool will cool off the kids! And, of course, showing off your aircraft is not just OK, it's expected! You will see some beautiful airplanes, both commercial and homebuilt, and sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the two!!! Last year in addition to the Aerocruisers, the Rebel, the RV-4, the TEAM Hi-Max and the commercial Cessnas, there were ultralight trikes, Cadys, Nordics, Skypups, a Pietenpol, Beaver RX550 ultralights, a Chinook, a Challenger II, a paraglider and a gyrocopter to name only a few of the wide variety of aircraft that were present.

Like last year, there will be a number of exhibits on show by people of various interests including an expert collector of aviation items. As well, there will be workshops on light aircraft construction techniques packed with tips for the amateur builder.

If you would like more information about last year's fly-in, check in at the club's website at: http://www.decollage.org/gerg/ or email either Serge Germain in French (gerg@decollage.org) or Neill Graham in English (ndgraham@sprint.ca). We'll get back to you asap!

We're looking forward to seeing you so keep your fingers crossed for good weather. (The event will simply be cancelled without rescheduling in the event of inclement conditions.) We should tell you, though, that in the twelve years that the Labour Day Sunday Louiseville Fly-In has been held, the weather has always been great!

See you in the air at Louiseville !
