apparently a small number of CozyMKIV flyers are using the
Ellison on their 360's, (Nat, Steve Wright, David Dormier, Marc
Zeitlin, and at least one or two more). My understanding is that
even the motor on Paul's bench wouldn't produce more (or much more)
power than the 360. How can the 360's produce their power
if that bore-size is an issue?
Hi
Tom,
I can't say I
understand it, but maybe Ken or someone will jump in and bail me out. I
gave up on the idea of using an Ellison when I realized that the EFS-4-5
(180-225 HP) model only has a 1-7/8" bore. I've been worried that I was on
the verge of choking my 13B with "only" 1-5/8" bores for each
rotor. Now I suppose you could connect the runners for
both rotors together at a common plenum, and feed it with a single1-7/8"
bore since both rotors aren't requiring a huge airflow at the same
time. That seems like it should work, and I'd love to see someone try
it. Just hard to step back from true fuel
injection.
Cheers,
Rusty
