Ben,
Didn't see it and although on this list we may not
all agree we seem to be much more tolerant of others ideas. Mind you the proof
is always in the pudding. On PL don't sweat it, it's aggravation you don't
need.
I have had exposure to some good ideas from the
other list, but equally I've had a lot of help from this list.
Tell me Ben why, didn't you go for the Ford C6
planetary reduction box, you could machine any parts you need for
yourself.

A couple of extra pounds is a safe trade off for crackshaft
security in my opinion. I am a big fan of rotarys going back to
the IMSA Camel Lights class at Daytona and other tracks. The main reason
I didn't go that route on my prototype is I am based at the
only airport in the world that is in a national park and keeping a
rotary quiet for a few hundred hours while I go through testing/R&D
phase is not a obstacle I wanted to overcome. There is a good
possibility I will offer my services to fellow alternative engine guys
who need custom machine work done. By now I am
guessing most of you guys have read the hatchet job the wizard on the
other list posted on the internet about me and my plane.
He is a piece of work for sure.
Tailwinds.
Ben.

Ben,
Fluid dampers are good but their heavy
and I believe that's the reason why their not used in Aviation ( to my
knowledge), especially where FWF weight is critical.
We have all been through 'baptism' on the
other site.
I did mean to say Ben - why didn't you
put all your efforts to developing the rotary . With your obvious
skills you would have made a major contribution - perhaps next time
!?
I'm still trying to get my head around
those kick-outs on the
aft end of the rad outlet. I'm trying to
confirm WHY they work - anyone got any suggestions.

George. I have been building racing engines for years. I
have never had a crack break from harmonics while using these
guys product. Here is a link to their website that gives the
details on how it functions.
After reading all the posts on here for the last
few days I have to say you guys are all moving forward toward
a common and successful conclusion. Keep on experimenting
!!!!! The "other" rotary site I got trashed
on is, how can I say this politely ??? Well,
lets just say it is entertaining for sure. <GG>

Ben,
Good work!
You certainly picked up on many
of the problems associated with auto engine conversions. I
particularly like the mixture block for the Holly carb.
While I was searching for a pen
I missed what you said you used for a damper - did you say
you used a fluid damper ?

Hi Jeff and all others. I am a newbie to
the group but a serious auto engine fanatic. I
feel your pain on the cooling issues with a
"slow" plane. I can expand on that if you
or anyone else is interested.

I
guess some people must actually be flying
…
Personally,
I’m almost ready to fly again after another
round of modifications to oil cooling
system. My slow, 105 mph airplane is
having difficulty keeping the oil temperature
below redline (210F) above 4000 rpm. Have
added a second oil cooler - now have one each
side of engine, similar-looking to dual
evaporator cores (for water) in RVs. Since
I can’t cruise at 160 mph have decided that 2x
surface area is needed to make up for 1.6x
airspeed.

Hey
gang!
I
came across a rare find this weekend.
Any
serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate
this.
Bluelines
from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary
engine.
I
just put them up on eBay
