Paul, just curious if I might be able to speak with you regarding the
powersports aviation re215 rotary engine?
Respectively,
Scott ingoldsby
Can we do it by email?
Paul Lamar
Sure, I just wanted to know your thoughts on the fwf package? I have
aquired a new one and just looking for any advice, do and don't s etc
pertaining to this package. I am very intrigued by what I have
read so far.
Scott ingoldsby
Send us some pictures Scott and I will try to identify the engine.
Paul Lamar
I do know that it is the powersports aviation re 215 rotary engine.
Just not much info on them out there...

>From whom did you buy it from?
Did you buy the air plane shown in the pictures as well?
If so the cooling system shown did not ever work well.
It violated K&W rules as outlined in my book "How to Cool Your Wankel".
The book was written partially due to the trouble the new Power
Sport company had
trying to cool it.
The 215 refers to the HP. It is lower than what we obtain today due to
two reason. The gear box ratio is lower limiting the RPM to 6200
and the intake tubes
are smaller in diameter.
Here is a HP comparison chart.
We have a lot of info on this engine. It is a second Power Sport
company engine.
Not built by Everett Hatch and Steve Beckham.

Paul, I bought the whole package. I wanted to use this engine as I am
quite impressed with it as well as it being a rare find. I will order a
copy of your book and would love to have input to a solution to the
cooling problem if there is one. I am looking forward to getting the
plane in the air, however I definitely want it trouble free if possible

Move the rad under the engine or on the cool right side.
As in this Glastar 3D.
