Jerry Hey is having problems posting to the
group - any suggestions or help he would appreciate!
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
