I am building a turbo normalized rotary right now.  I want to have it
totally completed in the next month.  I am starting the engine mount this
next week and will be making the oil pan accordingly.  How is the actual
S-Beam made.  What material, etc.  I appreciate any information you could
send my way.  I am convinced the rotary engine is the best powerplant for
aircraft.

Also, what material and thickness is the oil pan aluminum?

I have read most of your information concerning your engine mounts.  I
agree that the S-beam is the best way to mount the engine.   I will
attach a picture of the engine I am mimicking regarding the turbo install.
I am only normalizing the engine.  I want to start the S-beam today.  What
are the dimensions on the bar.  It looks like 3? wide or so.  I have already
ordered the Barry mounts.  They should be  here in a
few days.  Thank you very much for your help.   I am mounting the
radiator behind the seat in the fuselage for C.G. reasons.  Thank both of
you very much for all of the help!

Here are the dims Todd.
What kind of airplane are you building?

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Paul,

Would you please send me a top screen shop showing all the hole dimensions
for the oil pan?  I want to program it into our CNC router and have the
router punch the holes and cut out the plate.  I'm also going to have the
router cut out the sides and bottom of the pan.  You don't by chance have
any drawings showing dims for the entire pan do you?

Also, I am ordering the tubing for the engine mount right now.  What side
and wall are the three main struts that triangulate each side of the S beam
to the firewall.  It is 5/8 .049 tubing?

Thank you Paul,

Todd

This is all I have right at the moment Todd You will have to wait a couple
of weeks until I get back home.

Lower side tubes are 1 inch OD .049" wall 4130. Upper side tubes and most other
tubes are 3/4 " OD .049 wall 4130.
