Greetings all,

 

As I approach finishing my aircraft (probably in the next year -- although I have been saying that for the last three years,) my thoughts are moving to how to operate the rotary without damaging it and gear box and achieving the best efficiency/ speed/ power  with the above two criteria in mind.

 

My setup is as follows:

 

Normally aspirated Renesis

Tracy's EC-3, EM-3

Tracy's RD1-C

Ivo Prop with C/S/ attachment

Pusher configuration

 

So  Mike Bush says the best configuration is to fly with wide open throttle and control power with RPM (lowest possible consistent with smooth running) and LOP

 

Of course this is for cylindered engines.

 

I know that the Otto Cycle is the same for ours and theirs but my question is, from those familiar with the running of these beasts:

 

Do the same parameters hold--- or what is the best way to run the engine.

 

Additionally what is the maximum TO RPM for the Renesis and maximum Cruise RPM, if there is a difference... as well as the parameters in which the engine (of course properly cooled) can be safely run.

 

Thanking you all in advance,

 

Rich
