Richard,

Looks great. Congratulations.  What is it with people building airplanes
that they have to build houses as well?  Almost everyone I know is doing
both.  Me too.  Must be in our genetic make-up:)

Hi Richard, when you had them cast, did you take the opportunity to create
2 separate water passages so in the future you could have 2 cooing systems
if you replumb it ?

Dave, since this is strictly single rotor work, I do not consider a dual
radiator cooling system necessary. My cooling system, as is running right
now on the test stand has one water radiator and one oil cooler. The
cooling capacity of both is estimated to be half of what the two rotor
flyers use. 90% of my work is concentrating on reducing weight, everything else I
am keeping within what has been shown to work.
The particular housing design is the power-take-off side of the engine. It
has no cooling connections to the outside world.

Shown to work. I am with you Richard. I think you are
my long lost twin :)
