Hello Paul,
I have enjoyed your web page and am interested in rotary power for a new project. I currently have a Tailwind W8 (Lycoming 290G) and a Kitfox I (Rotax 582). I would like to build an airplane based on the Blanton Javelin V6 but with a 13B engine and am trying to learn what to expect. Please add me to your news letter.
Thanks
Dave Nimer
                        
That will be a good airplane for a rotary.
Lots of room in the cowl for the engine and cooling system.

If you send me a sketch of the firewall motor mount hard points
and the location of the thrust line I'll do a Rhino 3D dwg
of the motor mount and location of all the large items under
the cowl. It is a good idea to do this as a check on to see if all
the parts fit. Common practice at Boeing these days.

It is common to spend years doing things over if you don't carefully
plan ahead. It is best to do this first rather than build a motor
mount and then find out something does not fit.

Here are some Bear Hawk examples as we have quite a few Bear Hawks
being built. Let me know if you see a feature you don't like
and want to change. These are real easy for me to do as I already
have lots of the 3D's done on the parts.

A 250 HP 2-rotor P-port engine will work great.
A Holly 500 CFM two barrel carb will also work.
