Re: [FlyRotary] Re: Engine. Shahar, you better make sure the 13B is not too heavy for the Q-2. Installed weight could be just over 300 Lbs. I have a friend with Q2 and small Subaru engine. He had to move the battery in the tail. The 13B is heavier than his Subaru engine.

Thanks very much to all of you, its a really nice list.

I will get video and manuals.

The aircraft is Quickie. I thought to work on the engine mean while I am waiting to the warmer period before touching the epoxy again.

I would prefer the simplest conversion: what should I chose? carbs/injection or.....

Thanks to all of you again,
Shahar

Many thanks for your replay. Any specific suggestions for books or videos?

Regards,

Shahar

You're welcome. Ken is right, get the oil cooler too. As for books of videos, do you mean for rebuild, or conversion to aircraft use? Bruce Turrentine put out a great video for rebuilding the 13B. That's pretty much a must have item. Tracy has a book on rotary engine conversion for aircraft also. Having a factory manual for a 92 RX-7 would also be useful.

What aircraft are you going to put this in ?

Cheers,
