Doc, I can build a S-Beam rotary engine mount for just about any
aircraft. For example the last two built were for an Acro Sport and the
Bush Caddy. To begin with, I need a drawing showing the hard points on
the firewall where the engine mount bolt on. These should be
related to
the engine thrust lines vertical and horizontal. In other words the top
right attachment point is xxx distance above the thrust line and xxx
distance to the right if the thrust line. Also needed is the distance
of the prop flange from the firewall. This info should be in the RV 9
plans. Would you be using the Renesis or the 13B?
Once you gather this data, send it to me and CC to Paul Lamar who will
design engine mount. Paul does not charge for this service. The
benefit is a properly engineered engine mount specific to your
installation. Another advantage is that the design will become part of
an archive that other RV9 builders will be able to use.
Once you are happy with the design I will quote a
price. Regards, Jerry
Hi Doc-
I see by your area code that you must be close by me and my PPort 13b.
I'm based at Meadow Lakes (00V) -- come by for a visit some time. Maybe
you can help get mine tuned up, now that I have it running.
BTW - 2nd run was Monday afternoon. I took it up to 3600 rpm for 10
minutes. Still chasing leaks & also troubleshooting an egt sensor which
is claiming a 400F difference between rotor 1 and rotor 2.
