How heavy was your Mazda Gyro and how many gallons an hour do you burn
in your new gyro?

The mazda was at 840 lbs. without the blades.  The Easter Egg is 724 lbs.
without blades.
The Easter Egg burns about 6-8 gallons per hour depending on how insane I am
wanting to fly.  I have had it down to an estimated 4.5 gallons per hour on
a straight and level cross country without thermals.

Is there a difference in top speeds?

Both ships used the 30' RAF blades and have a Vne of 100mph for the blades
sake... the 12a could reach the Vne without breathing hard.. the Easter Egg
can reach it if I cruise at 4800 rpm straight and level (5200 rpm redline.)

What is the PSRU ratio in this one and prop dia and pitch?

the psru is a Knight Hawke planetary at 2.09:1 (I think) and the prop is 68"
(4 blades) with 10.5 degree pitch. Ground adjustable Warp Drive.  I have NOT
modified the prop tips the same way that the Testosterone Hummingbird was
"tipped."

So the EJ22 had two valves per cylinder or four valves per cylinder
with one cam per head? Or was it one cam in the block? If I sound
confused I am :-)

The EJ22 has one cam on each head of the horizontally opposed 4 cyl.... each
cam pushes 8 push rods of 4 intakes and 4 exhausts for the 2 cyl of each
side!    Wow, was that confusing or what!!??
