If anybody needs the MM tube dimensions let me know.
 The motor plate and welding cups are off the shelf.

 Paul,

 Do you have 3D models for the 13B you would like to share with me?  The
more
 models you have the better.  I am using SolidWorks to design a custom
 aircraft around the 13B.  I have not decided if I need turbo or not.  I
 really only need 200 HP.  Thank you!



 Best regards,
 Glen DeBusschere

 I use Rhino.

 Paul,

 I understand.  Can you output to *.STEP or *.IGS format?

 -Glen

 Yes.,
 Does your ISP accept zip files? These files are generally too big to email
 unless zipped.

 Paul Lamar



 Paul,

 Yes, it does.  I have Cox Communications and they are good about that.
 However, you can send it also to my other account:
glen@cleverbugdesign.com
 - either one should work - or you can send it to both.  Thanks!

 Glen

 OK try this.

 Paul Lamar

 Paul,

 Thank you.  I was able to open it and import it into my assembly.  This
 gives me a really good idea for space requirements.  I am designing a
 tractor-prop configuration but I guess the firewall forward spacing would
be
 similar as the Cozy one you sent me.

 Thanks again!

 -Glen

 I got lots of tractors.

 If you give me the dimensions on the firewall hard points, the thrust line
 position and the distance to the prop flange I'll do a lay out for free.
 There are several options for rear mounts. The best way is to build it
into
 the oil pan.

 Tractor or pusher.

 Most airplanes have limited space under the engine for cooling systems.
 Needed for tandem and pusher designs.

 Side by side tractors the cooling system can vertically go on the cool
side
 of the engine. The left side. Then you can use the stock cowl openings.
 Always put the diffuser between the hot engine and the rad. A one degree
 increase in under cowl temperature will result in a 1% loss of cooling. In
 other words make sure the rad gets the coolest air possible.

 The great thing about the rotary
 compared to other water cooled engines is the small size allows putting
the
 cooling system under the cowl. All the liquid cooled WW II fighters had
the
 cooling system mounted someplace else.

 Mike Wills RV4 is one of the best tandem layouts I have ever seen.
 It cools extremely well. It never got over 168 F while Dave Leonard ran it
 up for about 30 minutes. The oil was cooler than the water.
 The narrow cowl has less internal volume than a stock RV4 cowl with
cheeks.

 Mike cleverly extended the back of the oil pan back about 5 inches behind
 the engine as the front of the oil pan must come to a wedge so the water
rad
 diffuser has the room it needs.

 The gussets in the motor mount are unnecessary and the rear mount could be
 simplified but all and all it is one of the best so far.

 Send me a rendering of yours and I'll give you a free critique :)

 Paul Lamar


 Paul,

 Thank you.  It is a tractor side-by-side 2-seater.  I have seen some
planes
 that have one inlet for radiator and the other for oil cooler.  I was
 thinking this would make the most sense because I have the width.  I will
 send you renderings when I get it fleshed out a little more.  Thanks
again!

 -Glen


Isn't Mike's RV-4  cooling layout very similar to the P-40 Warhawk?

Matt-

Similar but the big difference Mike uses the more efficient
Kays and London wedge diffuser and a much lower drag heat
exchanger.
