Don't know if the crank angle specs on the RX8 engine are same as 13 BREW.
If they are, it will work on the EC2.  If not, I'll modify the program for
RX8 as soon as I can lay hands on one.  I'm sure I'll have a 2.85 drive
done
by the time it gets into our grubby little hands as well.  Flightship
company is wanting to use my drive on their WIG (wing in ground effect)
vehicle and they need 2.85 as well (10 foot props).

Good luck on the ten foot prop without additional gear reduction over and
above the 2.85:1 :-) IMHO Tracy you should not wait for the RX8 as many
people are chomping at the bit for a more powerful (which means higher RPM)
normally aspirated 13B.

A 2.85 and a cs prop oil passage hole would be nifty for my use as well.
