The single rotor is running again with some new components and good seals. Started up right on the first try. The
basic engine is now a flyable configuration. Before it will appear in my airplane, it has to have a suitable intake
system and 50+ hrs successful run time on the test stand.
Today's runs were for establishing base line, and make sure all systems work as designed. The configuration was with
side port only, P-Port blocked.
Next runs will include O2 sensor, fuel flow and accelerometer for measuring residual unbalance.
With this set-up it should be possible to develop an intake system for the port combination I am using.
