Paul, I've been following Ben Bushong's building of a Twinstarr kit. He has a pretty good website which includes a construction journal with pictures. Have a look when you have some time. I'm interested to know what you think of what he's done with the engine, how he's prepared the manifolds and made an engine mount. His website is http://members.tripod.com/~BBushong/Twinstar.htm. The engine work is interspersed with the rest of the work on the airframe. Scott
Quite a nice web site. By God he is using the rubber bushings in the firewall trick! Sort of. I wonder if he is on the list using another email address :-) His space frame holding the engine is very similar to what Perry Mick is doing. How about that! He would save some weight if he did away with the stock intake manifold. All and all looks pretty good. Paul Lamar The Aircraft Rotary Engine Newsletter.
