Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, I just read a somewhat interesting article in the new EAA electronic magazine, < http://eaa.org/experimenter/issues/ >. http://www.eaa.org/experimenter/articles/2009-01_engine.asp IIRC, the rotary has a bit of a reputation for being able to run on darned near anything that will burn (100 proof?). With direct injection - just after the intake ports are obscured - a realistic possibility, I wonder if the 13B couldn't be a star platform for a heavy fuel solution. Hmm, I've got an extra engine, and if I can ever get the "fly" engine on the airplane ... nah, just another distraction to keep me from finishing the COZY. After that? Dale R. COZY MkIV #0497 Ch. 12 complete. ~still~ on Ch. 13 :(
