That is sad news. He has been dealing with that for some time. That man was a genius. For those that don't know of him, he was CP Industries who makes Cheetah, Puma, Saber cylinders. May he rest in peace.

Calvin was an innovator and inventor. I had never seen a stuffer plate until I looked into one of Calvins engines.

I went to the funeral today and let me tell you it was a packed house. Calvin had many friends, colleagues, loved ones and family. We celebrated his life today and many stories were told of his genius with motors, his musical talents , and his way with people. Calvin lived every day to it's fullest. He got to do what he loved and did it his own way. In the last year he took on a partner in the business (CP Industries) so his dream will go on and the industry will still have all those big bore kits to make those two strokes fly
Always finding new and exciting ways to not give a hoot in hell
Catch me if you can
Wow, I am very sorry to hear this. I did not know Calvin personally, but I spent a lot of time reading and trying to absorb some of this posts and comments he made on www.planetsand.com where he was a moderator and would occasionally make a thread that would really make people stop and think about 2 stroke motors. One in particular about crank case volumes and compressions has always stuck with me as someone that really thought outside the box and was able to act on those thoughts.
A loss for sure...thoughts are with his friends and family.
