Subject: [FlyRotary] injector relocation
predictions?
Greetings,
As I mentioned before,
one of the relatively easy options for improvement will be to move the 4
injectors, and keep the current intake. As they are now, all 4 injectors
are in the TB, which is 30 inches away on the cold side of the
engine. I believe I can mount the two stock primaries back in the block,
and can probably mount the two secondaries in the intake, maybe 2 inches from
the engine.
Here's the question, do
you think this will increase power? In other words, am I losing power by
having the injectors coating the inside of the long tubing, rather than
efficiently delivering the fuel to the
engine?
That is what Mistral
Engines are now doing with their engine. (I just sent you some pictures of
their setup), as well as an explanation of why they did it this way.
Unfortunately, the moderator bounced the message back from the Fly Rotary
group stating that the message was too long, so I sent it to you
directly.
Thanks,
Rusty (thinking of
draining one fuel tank, and filling it with helium to improve
climb)
Don't forget to re-do
your weight and balance with the helium on board.
