I'm sorry to say that after my various adventures in "Rotary Land"
this last
year it's time to hang up my rotors and put a Lycosaur in my Cozy. My
wife
and aviation friends close to me were getting tired of hearing
stories of
excitement in the air and were urging me to give up on the rotary and
put a
"conventional engine" in my plane. I've wrestled with that decision
since I
lost an apex seal in December and last week finally decided to make
the
change.
I found a Lycoming for a pretty reasonable cost that should perform
well in
my Cozy and I finalized the deal this week.
So, for those "Lurkers" on the list, have I got a deal for you -
especially
if you're building a canard pusher! I'm selling all my rotary related
parts
and thought I'd offer them on the rotary email lists first. EVERYTHING
needed to fly are here (except for a rebuild kit to repair the apex
seal
issue). The items are:
1. Rotary Engine w/ at least 1 broken apex seal. Includes:
a. Mazda Oil Cooler
b. Howe Aluminum racing radiator
c. Atkins Intake Manifold with tuned extensions
(including injectors)
d. TWM Throttle body and fuel rail
e. MicroTech Engine Computer
f. Bosch 80A Alternator
g. Starter
h. Coils
2. Conversion Concepts Engine Mount (for Cozy)
3. Tracy Crook PSRU RD-1B 2.175:1
4. Tracy Crook Engine Monitor - EM-2
5. Custom Tuned Exhaust System (remember
this is a pusher application it is pointed
toward the prop)
The engine, mount, and PSRU have a total of about 100hrs of run time
on
them.
The exhaust system has all of about 5 hours on it.
The attached pic's show the engine before I went with tuned intake and
exhaust.
I have $7000+ in the engine and all items in #1 above.
The engine mount was originally $650
The PSRU was originally $2800
The EM-2 was originally $950
The tuned exhaust was $700
I'd like to get at least $7000 for all of it.
Thanx,

Hi Joe,
I would be interested in the project. Would you consider in the area of
5-6000 for the entire project? I am using a tractor configuration in an
rv-8 so some parts are not useable for me.
Regards,
Bruce Belligan
