I AM THINKING OF INSTALLING A ROTARY IN A ZODIAC 601, CAN YOU SEND
ME ANY INFO. TO HELP ME MAKE UP MY MIND, IF THIS IS WHAT I REALLY

WANT TO DO?

JOHN COX

I have added you to the list John. What size engine is the ZODIAC 601

designed

for. I ask as the rotary engine is a bit heavy for airplanes requiring
only about 100 HP. For a 180 HP Mazda 13B two rotor firewall forward

weight would

be around 300 pounds. Most 100 HP engines are around 200 pounds.

Hi John,

the ZODIAC 601 is a prime candidate as a fast test bed for my one rotor,
designated "RES12". The first flyable proto type will go in my AVID later
this year provided all test stand running is going as planed. The second one
is for a faster air plane.

A preliminary test sheet is attached.
