The rad is going underneath. No S-beam so we can gain a little oil
pan volume. I was hoping that k11 could provide enough info to just
look at the depth of the pan. I am filing all this info so the next
time we see a Glass Star, I won't have to ask for another drawing.
I guess it could be mocked up. Level the plane, measure down from
the pan flange to see how much space there is to the bottom of the
cowl. Jerry
Here are some pictures of his motor mount.
Get Paul K to send you a sketch of the pan
he wants.
Paul K, Go for about 8 quarts IMHO. 232 cubic inches in a gallon
and four quarts to a gallon. 500 cubic inches is about
5 inches deep on average. 3 inches down on the front
and 7 inches down on the rear. Roughly speaking.

Is anyone putting a Renesis rotary in a Glastar Sportsman 2+2? I just reviewed
the photos attached to this E-mail and the plane looks like it might be a
Glastar. I believe firewall forward both models would be the same. I would like to
contact anyone (off-line) to share information, parts suppliers, design info, technical
problems, etc., as this is a future project of mine.
