Hello Paul,
Sorry to contact you so late but I couldn't for technical reasons. I was great
to meet you in Oshkosh.
No the engine hasn't fly yet. Only ground tests, static and dynamic are
completed. Our intention is to make the fly test within six months due to the
choice of aircraft which has added delays.
No we do not mix oil and fuel.
the weight in the version with turbo is 340 lbs
the cost will be competitive with the equivalent piston engines
yes it is a Mazda rotor and waste gate
no high altitude test was done but we have no doubt on the way the turbo will
work.
Many thanks for your interest and note our web site: www.mecanair.ch
