The BASICS of SIMPLICITY

How? Find new ways to use old ideas that are proven. Learn from those who have gone before and bring to market products that are easy to use, cost effective and reliable.

Why? If you don't have it, it won't break!" Simplicity allows for less parts count, better reliability and lower cost for purchasing and maintenance. This becomes apparent as you learn about our product line.

What? Our Products are currently focused on our SPYDER series of engines that will be continually upgraded. We service and provide parts for these engines. For installation purposes we have developed Firewall Forward Kits and components for some common aircraft kits currently on the market. We provide engine components and information for the "do it yourself" experimental Corvair engine builder. Aircraft kit components (gear, wing skins, wing tanks, and more) will become available soon.
