Development
The F-263 uses fan cooling and piston-ported induction, with a single Bing carburetor and single capacitor discharge ignition. The cylinder walls are electrochemically coated with Nikasil. Standard starting is recoil start. A gearbox reduction drive system and electric start were factory options.[1]
The engine produces 31 hp (23 kW) and runs on a 50:1 pre-mix of unleaded 93 octane auto fuel and oil. Recommended time between overhauls is 1000 hours.[1]
Applications
- Howland H-3 Pegasus[2]
- Falconar HM-293[3]

gollark: It doesn't make it clearer because you (can) miss the important special bits and might just skim over errors in essentially-copy-pasted error handling/synchronization/etc.
gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
gollark: I would prefer some sort of parallel `map` function, but Go literally will not let you write one. With that, you could just do `urls.par_map(rss.fetch_feed)` (pseudorustaceocode) or something, thus skipping fiddly and problematic sync stuff and making your *intent* clearer.
gollark: I think they're overused and not actually very good synchronization primitives. Please explain how you would use them.
