Jeff,

Good job. Looks nice, assume the Rotaxs were just for
airframe development while you designed and developed
the 'real' engines.  How are you injecting the fuel?
Jet A or diesel?  Assume opposed piston is to get the
highest piston compression and expansion.  Is that a Roots
blower - or a L-type?  Full time, or do you use a turbo once
you get it started?  I assume two-stroke-cycle.  Pressure
lubed bottom ends?  With the blower, probably no
crankcase compression used.  Assume multistage
turbos for high altitude??

More info - -      please.

Just heard from Doug Shane that you two have met.
He'll probably be busy the 27/28th - we'd love to see
the diesel.    Pretty please, with sugar on it.

Bill

Good BSFC, but the Voyager series got .375 on
gasoline.    ;-)
