I am 90% done with the airframe of my dragon fly I am intending to power it
with a 13b. Any comments? Anyone seen a rotary powered dragonfly? would make
quite a buzzz.....

Isn't it a bit heavy Brent?

Paul Lamar

I'd think so.. I just about bought a Dragonfly project, but was
discouraged by the weight limit for an engine, and who wants to
fly behind a VW motor?.. If memory serves me correct, a c-85 was
to much weight. A single rotor would fit, but that might mean a
bit of a wait until they get on the market..

How about moving rad and oil cooler aft for cg reasons, and using
aluminum side housings?

Perry

That should cut some weight out of the engine.
