I would definitely be interested in side and end aluminum
housings in the
$500 to $1000 range and am sure I could even sell a ton of them
here in
Japan as well. After repeated emails to Racing Beat without
response I'm
very happy to hear that Mistral will sell parts. Thanks a lot
Francois for
your fine work and great information.

In the last week I have come to the conclusion I need a simpler
engine
mount to keep my planes cowl slim and Mistral's front housing
design is
just
what I have in mind.

While you are at it Doug buy one of their gear boxes as well as
you will
need a constant speed prop.

     Francois,
          Now that the word is out that "Mistral" will sell individual
parts to the
experimental group when do you think that a price schedule will be
available ?

  Thanks,

Paul,
While on the subject of aluminium ( end and intermediate) housings, I'm
considering putting two mounting  points for each of the inlet and exhaust
to accommodate both inlet manifold  and exhaust manifold brackets. This will
then give two each side of both brackets - either side of the rotor
housings.

As you know there isn't a lot of  room to accommodate either in the rotor
housings. This will get around that problem, however it will be for the
P-Port only.

Do you see any problem with this? - with sufficient gaskets there shouldn't
be a problem with the engine seals being compromised in anyway.

Not right at the moment.
