Wow it begin to sound good!
Paul I'm interested by the carb version because
in helicopter you have a constant rpm that is approx.
6000 rpm in my case.So I don't realy need fuel
injection.
I'm wondering if I do not have enough power,
Is there a way to boost a carb version engine,
like turbo charge it or something?
Frank
Are we talking about a one rotor or two rotors?
If two rotors you will have more than the min 500 transmission and shaft
was designed for. If one rotor a peripheral port should get you around
110 HP at 6000 RPM. A turbocharger will work and get you more than enough HP
with a one rotor. Don't forget the added weight of turbo, intercooler and manifold.
I would guess 25 to 35 pounds additional for a one rotor.
