Paul,

The first 2 bell housings for testing finished op 2 this morning.
Pictures attached. The stress test will be next and then I will start
cutting some weight out of them using the stress test setup for
validation. There are a few design changes I will make for the
production parts. The first being a better match to the starter shape
(need a larger radius)

and to incorporate the cutouts I put in.

I have a RD1-B Gear drive here, but I need to get my hands on a RD1-C to
finalize some issues. I will contact Tracy in the morning.

Larry



P.S. I finally found a carb large enough to handle a rotary?.. picture
included. Too bad it is as large as the engine??

The bell housings look great Larry. Which bolt hole was off?
they all look right on.

Your kidding us. That carb is off a P&W R2000 :)
