Finally we have a smaller clutch driven Cors-Air!</B></div> <bR> <div> To learn more about Arnon Lufi, please click on this link: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.ultraflight.com/thornburgh/israeli_pilot_wins_powere.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ultraflight.com/thornburgh/is"><U>http://www.ultraflight.com/thornburgh/israeli_pilot_wins_powere.pdf</U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Wayne Mitchler: instructor/test pilot  (Sky Bike Aviation)</div> <bR> <div> <B> Alex , </B></div> <div> <B>I wanted to let you know that I think the Cors-Air M19/Black Magic engine is a good complement to the Cors-Air line. I have been flying a Black Magic on a Paracruiser since early February this year for testing purposes(approx 10hrs). It starts very easily as does the Black Devil. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div>                          <IMG SRC="815d50c0.jpg" border=0 width="469" height="524" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The clutch is a nice feature and performs very smoothly. The engine has a little less power than the Black Devil but is surprisingly strong. However, the Black Magic has only 120 cc compared to the Black Devil which has 172,5 cc.</B></div> <div> <B>At this point I have not done a thrust test but hope to perform one at the National Convention. JPX Italia has stuck with their proven design of the Black Devil here so I do not foresee any problems arising as it gets more hours. </B></div> <div> <B>In it's factory configuration of the carb it starts easily and runs smooth in the power band of the exhaust.</B></div> <div> <B> In order to improve the mid range roughness I modified the carb as I have with most of my units.(plug idle bleeds) After this adaptation it runs extremely smoothly through all rpms. Also I installed one of my Phenolic insulators under the carb to improve the restart when warm. </B></div> <div> <B>JPX Italia you have another winner!! </B></div> <div> <B>Wayne Mitchler</B></div> <div> <B>SKY-BIKER Aviation Inc.</B></div> <div> <B>Ph: 780-352-7465</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.paracruiser.com/skybiker" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.paracruiser.com/skybiker"><U><B>www.paracruiser.com/skybiker</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Jeff Goin: airline captain, President of USPPA</B></div> <div> <B>             </B></div> <div> <B>The Cors-Air M19/Black Magic was introduced to North America in 2007 to present JPX</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><B>Italia's first clutch equipped motor in a lighter weight package. Being new, reliability will have to wait. </B></div> <div> <B>It has very good thrust and throttle response.</B></div> <div> <B>I've only flown it once on a Blackhawk and it worked quite well for me. The idle was too high so the clutch kept the prop engaged but that is a simple idle adjustment issue. Consequently I did not get to see how well it idles.</B></div> <div> <B>Unlike most small-displacement, high rpm motors, it has no forced air cooling but it also a bit heavier so the heat dissipation may be the same. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>                                           </B><A HREF="id133.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" "><U><B>Back to Black Magic engine</B></U></A><B>                                                                                                                                                                                               </B><A HREF="index.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="_"><U><B>Back to Home Page</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
