Hi, all....here's an update on the two rotor

engine on the ultralight.  The

engine now idles very well.  Static RPM's are

good, and it sounds real

smooth.  Problem is, it quit on him just as he got

airborne.  He didn't like

that.   His electrical wiring leaves a lot to be

desired.  He said he is

going to re-wire it, and if it quits on him again,

it's going into the

wooden crate and will be sold.

Paul:

What was done to make it idle correctly?
Did you have anything to do with that?
Were you around when it quit on him?

Idle was corrected by changing the fuel filter. I had nothing to do with

it.  I wasn't around when it quit on him....just told by others at the
airport that it seemed to idle and run very smooth, but quit on take-off
run. The wires to his fuel pump relay are not secure.  Hopefully I will hear
it run possibly next week.  Will keep everyone informed. I believe he said
this engine was around 80 horsepower.  Would be great on the back of a
Vari-Eze or a gyrocopter.  Paul Conner
