Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo install:
Solenoid valve order, new prop.
Still trying to find a good solenoid valve to use on the oil feed in case
of turbo failure. I need a normally open valve. Several companies
have such a valve listed on their web sites but they do not seem interested in
selling me only one valve. Most other retailers only sell normally
closed valves.
I also know that I am going to need a bigger prop. I have decided
on a 3-blade in the hopes of making my wife more comfortable in the
plane. I have pretty much decided on the Catto, but they have a 4 month
lead time. I am really having to force myself to wait until after I
fly with the new turbo before ordering the prop..
I have also pretty much come to the conclusion the porting the engine
makes a BIG difference in power output - turbo or otherwise. I just got
my spare engine irons back from being ported and they
look great. Next is to get the rotors covered in ceramic, and
probably a balance job as I feel that may have never been done with my current
counter weight (that's why I was looking at counter weights on e-bay).
... Just got an e-mail back from a company willing to sell me a
single valve:
I obviously would recommend such a valve for those considering using a
turbo. Does anyone want one now while I am ordering?

Thanks Dave,
If anyone needs this, grab it
now. If it's still there in the morning, I'm going to snag it in case
I every use my second RD-1C drive for something other than a single
rotor.
Cheers,
Rusty
PS- how did the turbo installation
go?
