Jim here . thanks for your news letter it has been very informative .
I would like to receive more info .
I have a bellanca viking with a lycoming io 540 , it needs a engine top overhaul cylinders,cam,lifters
mags redone and some others to be done .
I am interested and looking at what it would take to convert a 20b to this plane ?
How would this change the class of this plane and or put this into experimental ,or would this be viable ?

I like the minstral planetary drive to a cs prop ( just had mine overhauled 0 time).
The engine is out of the plane and shop is waiting on which way I want to go.
The shop is also looking at what it may take to change to a rotary engine.
Does anyone know how the certification with the FAA is going?
Any info and help is appreciated.
Thanks

James Vidican

The FAA will not allow that. If you can convince them you are going to
manufacture aircraft rotary engines for sale they will give you a restricted
permit for testing only. No pax.

Mistral gave up. Partial because they tried to certify EFI.
A nearly impossibly with the FAA. Lycoming has been trying for years.
I think part of the problem is there are no certified fuel injectors.

Perhaps the only way to get it to happen is build carbon fiber
wings and declare it an experimental air craft :-)
If the wood wing is good you might be able to sell it for a lot
of money.
