However I always wondered why they're not used with Rotax
engines in ultra
lights? Since the Rotax is the power for Ski-Doo, I'd have
expected that
someone would have used the combination in an UL aircraft. But
since it didn't
apply to my needs I didn't think about it for
long.
Thanks Todd. Very
interesting. Can you guess what one of these CVT's would weigh, and what
you could get a new, or good used one for? There aren't a lot of
snowmobile salvage yards where I live :-)
Why don't you try a pulley type CVT on one of your multitude
of planes?
Starting to think about it :-)
How many do you have now? And
does your wife know? How many actually fly? :-)
Counting the gyro that I
won't get until the 22nd, I currently have the RV-3 (flying), a Kolb Slingshot
(needs to be re-covered and put back together with a single rotor engine), a
Sonerai-IIL (project, being sold when I get a chance to get the engine running
and advertise it), and finally the gyro (not finished, needs blades,
engine, and someone who knows how to fly it). And yes, she knows that she'll
never park in the garage again.
