I imagine you could use the ceramic apex seals, but their cost would make the whole thing more expensive than I would probably want to go.

A coating of ceramic would save the face of the rotors from being eroded away real fast, but what could you do to get some oil out to the apex seals. -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html Notice: This e-mail is intended solely for use of the individual or entity = to which it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, p= rivileged, company confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applica= ble law.
