Nate,

   What are your impression of the Rotamax compared to
   the Subaru?

   Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.



Paul,

The first difference is the weight!  All complete it dropped the weight
of the craft a little over 100lbs.  This weight reduction is great in
any aircraft!  We left a lot of standard accessories on the craft
including the belt reduction unit and PSRU.  We also added some weight
w/the brackets and stuff supporting the engine on the craft. The rotary
was much more smooth.  We were most pleased with the performance of the
rotary on the lower RPM settings. We were able to cruise at higher
sustained speeds with a lower power settings on the Rotary engine.  A
lot less wiring! :)

Tests will continue as we are moving into Turbo testing and ASTM compliance!

Great to hear from you!  How is everything going for you?
