Paul,
Thanks for hooking me up to your newsletter. So far all it has
told me is that I have missed the boat as far as knowledge of the rotary is
concerned. It is possible necessary that I talk to you to answer a lot of
questions. Are you game to give me your phone number and time that will be
suitable?? I believe you are in Texas which will make you approx 6 hours ahead
of me, so 7am here will be 1pm there which is a time that suits me, but that is
up to you.
Briefly my situation is as follows. I have a sportsman currently powered
with an Eggenfellner E6. Suffice to say that this decision has cost me at least
two years flying rebuilding the package many times and currently doing more
"mods". Hopefully these are the last. There is nothing wrong with the motor as
such, but having flown it for approx 9 hours, it will, never give me the 200 HP
quoted. More like around the 160 - 70 HP. My experience appears similar to all
who went the Egg way.
So I will now fly the plane with the non existant horses while I find an
alternative engine. The rotary seems ideal with its Power to weight. I should
also say that the Egg package is approx 100 Lbs heavier than an 0-360 !. I am
not in a hurry to ditch the Egg package as the suby motor runs very smoothly
compared to say a Lyc. I still want approx 220 Hp if possible. In ignorance it
appears that either the 16B or even the RX8 motor would be brilliant. AS I say
I am not in a hurry, so have time to source a n affordable motor.
Where do you fit into the construction of a package ?? Obviously you are
not a charity so you will be entitled to payments accordingly. Thanks to the
Egg package I am now well qualified to build a FWF package with little outside help.
These above topics are what I wish to discuss with you by phone as I can
talk much quicker than I can type !
Yours, Neil Unger.
Have you read the web site? Read that first. There are about 40 videos under
UTUBPLEASE on youtube. You don't need to join to see them. just put the key
word UTUBPLEASE in the youtube search box. After that don't worry about
asking questions as you will be fairly well informed and there is always a
better written answer.
The P-port 13B or the P-port RX8 engines both put out about 250 HP at 7500 RPM
which is loafing for the rotary. Both are capable of 11,000 RPM. We use a 2.85:1
PSRU ratio from Tracy Crook which gives us about 2600 prop RPM. The firewall
forward weight will be about the same as a O-360.
We also have a $20 Christmas special on a book called "How to Cool Your Wankel"
