Paul and Group, Bad luck today with my Q200/Cosmic Fish.  Ground
  loop



  during a high speed taxi test damaged the canard and sheared one of

  the mains completely off.  Mild prop damage, but engine still idling



  when the plane came to rest.  After nine years, I've had enough of

  this airframe.  The engine, however, has been a wonderful, mostly

  enjoyable, education.  I'd like to offer it for sale, here, if
  anyone



  is interested.



  All aluminum single rotor Mazda 13B.  Firewall forward installation.



  All rotating components dynamically balanced at Mazdatrix--runs very



  smooth Plugs up orientation. Compact and very effective muffler.

  P-ported with Ellison EFS-3 throttle body injector. Ross 3.17 psru

  modified with thrust bearings. (Planetary set might require

  inspection/replacement due to prop strike--not terribly difficult or



  expensive) Modified water pump, no thermostat, improved flow.

  Excellent water and oil cooling systems. Solid state dual ignition

  system, etc... Weighs around 200 lbs, firewall forward, depending on



  choice of propeller. Estimated around 140 hp at 8200 rpm. Turns a 95



  in pitch, 62 inch long prop at 6200 rpm static, at 4500 msl. Can

  supply video of running engine.



  I'm in it about $10,000.  Looking for a reasonable offer.



  Lewis Bjork.





  Really bad luck Lewis.

  Sorry to hear that.



  You did such a wonderful job of installation.

  Is the canard broken or the main landing gear just sheared?

  In other words is it repairable?



  Now is not a good time to sell. If we get the right person in office
  about a

  year from now and a little bit more would be a much better time as
  the

  economy will start to improve with a vengeance if we are lucky I am
  right.



  I would wait a few months until after the election to make a
  decision.



  If somebody buys it my advice is to add a dry sump pump and do away
  with the

  side oil pan.

  That would give you room for a small turbo. Then you are looking at
  2 to 3

  hundred HP

  Hi Lewis,

  I have a friend who has just completed a Quickie single place like

  yours, he is looking for an engine, yours would be ideal. I will put
  in an

  offer for $5,000 on his behalf.

  Cheers Chris Hoskins in NZ



  Thanks for the offer.  Make it $7500. I’ll crate it, and include the
  cowl.  You pay for shipping.

  Lewis. Bjork.

  That it is a really good deal.  That cowl was a lot of labor.

  Paul Lamar


  Hi Lewis, My friend says OK to $7500 and could you please include
  the engine mounts also. We will need to decide how to pay, it's a lot
  of cash to deal with. Cheers,

Chris Hoskins.




Has this  engine install FWF and aircraft been documented and pictured
somewhere? Before it comes apart...

Lewis worked on it for severely years. Early cooling configurations
proved inadequate so larger area, thinner heat exchangers where in installed
in accordance with my book "How to Cool Your Wankel".

Here are some pictures of the early configurations.

I will upload later configuration with the next message.

Opps forgot the pictures. Here they are.  Sorry.

Early versions.
