Well, Rusty, how about rotating your engine 90 deg and having the only single rotor "Plugs Up" engine {:>). It'll run smoother, get better gas mileage and produce more power with that orientation (There! that should stir up some conversation {:>))

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Electric Water pumps - Interesting

I was just thumbing through a recent catalog from Summit Racing and came across a couple of pages on electric water pumps. There has always been a degree of interest (and some debate {:>)) regarding the use of electric water pumps in aircraft.

Are you really that bored Ed? Maybe trying to stir up some lively conversation, and tired of the same old fuse breaker topic :-)

I'm off to run the single rotor again, now that I've got the RD-1C drive back on it. Don't tell anyone, but it's only got an electric water pump :-0
