Paul,

   I seem to recall you posted a pic of an Eaton blower on a 13B Canard a
   few months ago. I cannot find the post and am trying to design a bracket
   for a Eaton M62 for my Renesis. Any chance you still have it around?

   Thanks,

   Bobby

   OK that was Tom Jordan.

   Given the reliability issues relative to turbochargers and the high EGTs
   of rotary engines, would a blower be a better option for a 20B going on
   a Skybolt? (aerobatic biplane)

   Given that cruise fuel consumption is not an issue with a aerobatic
   airplane a super charger is not a bad way to go. It will be one powerful
   aerobatic engine. What are you going to use for a gear box?
   The gear box catches hell on an aerobatic air plane.

Frankly, I had not considered the PSRU as a potential weak link, as long
as it was capable of handling the horsepower. What do you see as the
issue? power, G, gyroscopic forces, structural integrity of the bolt-up?
I do not have a PSRU yet.

I thought I had the problems pretty well licked once I came across the
Powersport dry sump system for all attitude lubrication.

Gyro forces on the prop shaft bearing and prop flange.
Also take a look at http://www.mistral-engines.com/
They have a PSRU that will handle a constant speed hydraulic prop which
is something else needed with aerobatic airplanes.
