Tracy or anyone,
I'm just getting blasted by some Yank that is not
happy with the engines he got from Rupert here locally. I went and inspected the
engines for this chap to see that they looked OK and nothing was missing,
as a favour.
Now he's not happy that their not auto's and he
doesn't know how to change them over. He also complained that the Renesis
engine had 13B housings and he was getting ripped-off, I tried to explain that
the Renesis was a 13B.
BTW this chap is a Mechanical Engineer and worked
for many Aviation related companies. He is also doing his own PSRU and is now
complaining there is a difference between the
Renesis manual and the Auto gearbox bolt pattern and the manual pattern makes
this harder for him.
The only thing I can think of is that one of them
has the Cosmo ( extra top mount position) bolt pattern or that the starter
mounting holes are different.
The engines are on the other side of town, so I
can't see them directly.
Any suggestions on what ( if anything) is
different, I would like to respond to this chap as he's a real
pain.
Paul a photo of the Renesis from the flywheel side
would help, if you would be so kind.

Got back today from Charlie & Tupper's Fly-in at Outer
Slobovia. Always a treat. Had big head-winds on way up but got
paid back with an equally strong tailwind on the way back. The
psychological effect of seeing 200+ cruise speeds is a kick! First
time using the oxygen system and it really makes high altitude cruising a
lot nicer. Stayed at 16,500 most of the time and felt great on
arrival rather than the need for a nap like I usually feel.
The Renesis continues to get better all the time as it breaks in and I
get the engine controller fine tuned to it. Only glitch was the
sluggish engine start after the engine cold soaked over night. Need to
switch from 15W - 50 to 10W - 30 for the winter. Or maybe its that
weenie motorcycle battery I use? Anyway, another pleasurable 6 rotary
powered hours added to the Hobbs.
