This would be perfect for an oil cooled rotor Wankel Ag
engine.

Hello Paul
How cute is that little Kaman! I have always thought that the Kaman in
particular (and other Russian helicopter designs in general) are way better
than what the West wanted to give them credit for.

Looking at those helicopters, I had an idea of mounting the propeller
boss/reduction drive driven pulley (belt drive) on a part of the engine
mount on an aeroplane, above and to the front of the engine, so traction
will be through the engine mount rather than through the reduction drive
mounted to the engine. Has this ever been tried, and if so, what is the weak
point in such a system? Can you draw up such a mounting system for mounting
a 13b to a Supercub replica, using a belt drive? Is the description of what
I have in mind as clear as mud? :>)


Regards,

Erik in Oz.

I would buy one of those in a instant.
I think it would be easy to learn to hover as you sit
close to the ground.

I don't follow you. You need to sketch something up and scan it.
