Paul,


I was wondering about the holding power of the through bolts in an all
Racing Beat all aluminum aircraft rotary engine as compared to say a hybrid
that retained the iron front housing.  Any thoughts on this?

I think he is using thread inserts. Heli coil or some other brand.

Paul,


OK Thanks.  For aircraft applications  I think wisdom would dictate
retaining the front iron housing and using only the rear and intermediate
R.B. Aluminum housings.
I say this mainly because the iron front housing is more robust and gives a
few locations to anchor some addition hardware.

Doug.
