A very interesting comparison would be accident/incident
rates for experimental with certified engines vs experimental with ‘alternative’
engines.

Re: Another rotary failure
Rusty,
Couple of years ago we lost 3 Cozy's within few months
due to Lycoming engine problems. Not landing with engine problem, but total
lost of all 3 aircraft. Nobody said a word. Like it was the most ordinary
thing?

On the subject of failures in general, am I the only one who thinks
there have just been way too many of these in the last couple years? In
virtually every case, the engine has been the victim, rather than the cause of
the problem, but to the casual observer, it looks bad for the rotary. I'd
hate to calculate the number of flight hours per serious problem for currently
flying rotaries. I'd also hate for the insurance companies to do
it. Let's hope this trend doesn't continue.
