Good luck with the article, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Patrick Panzera Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 10:46 AM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Porting Hey gang, Has anyone done any radical porting on their 13b? I need an image, even if it's from the web, of the most radical side porting possible. I'm doing an exhaustive article on the RotaMax engine for the next issue of CONTACT! Magazine. One of the things they do a little differently is the use of both side and peripheral ports. For low RPM compatibility, they use a butterfly to shut off the peripheral port and run off just the side ports... which they themselves are HUGE! I need a comparison image to establish just what is considered a huge side port for a Mazda engine. Thanks!!!
