Hi Paul

I've been interested in the Velocity aircraft for some time, and
especially considering the Rotary engines.

I am not up to speed as they say on these engines, but any thing has to
be better than the 1940 technologies still used in most aircraft built
today.

What Rotary engine build do you think is best for the Velocity twin
design. I don't particularity want to build the whole aircraft, but
retrofitting it to the rotary instead.
I realize this is a new design, and there is only one plane flying right
now, so I have time to learn more.  Perhaps I get a single and retrofit
it first, until the twins become more available.

Pushers work best with a 13B or RX8 turbo. Solves the muffler problems.
Coax muffler is not practical due to length limitations.

No thanks on the property, We recently purchased on Mosquito rd, I used
to live on Slypark rd, down at the lower end.   Do you live near
Placerville?

Thanks for the info on the engine, you wouldn't happen to have the Cad
file for that nice jpg of the engine would you?   I use Inventor 2013 pro.

The wife bought that years ago before we were married. It is just
sucking money
in taxes now :)

Here is a zipped IGES.

The velocity has more room in the cowl.

Done with Rhino. Try it I think you will like it. A lot like ACAD.
