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.

Also on turbos, do we have any idea how they would survive aerobatic
g-loads, and gyroscopics?  How do those loads compare to running in a car
over a bumpy road?


Regards,

Matt-

You will need a ball bearing turbo the std. Rx7 turbo or ANY bushing
turbo is only designed to work in a +/- 15 arc of level ,  large stage 5
or .5" shaft would be your optimal choice for reliability. Make sure the
turbo is FIRMLY secured to the enigne via a few hard points.. or you'll
loose it in mid roll..
