Hello everyone.
I'm a designer and this is my first post in this fine forum. I'm designing a custom airplane frame and I need of the knowledge of the v-twin expert members of the board .
In the plan of my project, installing an HD Evo type v-twin in an inverted position (upside-down, with the crankcase up and the cylinders down) would be more rational than a traditional configuration.
I know that the v-twins can be considered as a part of an aircraft radial engine, I know that the HD v-twin separated lubrication allows the inverted work. Of course, I also know that the history of aviation is rich of famous inverted v-engines or radial ones and that in the acrobatic aircraft the engines can work inverted for a while, but I don't know if a stock HD Evo v-twin, or a S&S bigger colleague (like the T124 for example) with fuel-injection system can work at the same and normally if mounted inverted without modifications.
If an inverted v-twin working is not possible without modifications, what modifications the v-twin would need of?
Or it's not possible at all?
Thank you very much in advance,
Greets,
Titus
