We got up to 10,000 feet. Full throttle and a small amount of waste
gate closure. We will have more engine data tomorrow.

This video is only 25 seconds and my guess is it ends at  3000 to
4000 feet. The aircraft  is just a speck at that point.

I am not sure as the guys forgot the camera looking at the
altimeter.

The angle of climb is about 80 to 90 degrees. Near vertical. Dan says
it is real critical. He has no visual reference so we are going to
put an aerobatic device on the left wing so he has a visual angle
reference.

It is doing about 110 Kt at that angle.

110 Kts is 126 MPH or is 184 FPS or 11,000 feet per minute. Check my
arithmetic.

It appears the record is a piece of cake if we can climb near
vertically at 110 Kts. In fact we would push it so far out of sight
no other engine would equal it other than another Wankel.


We had a problem with the RV8 chase plane as the alternator failed
and it did not have mags. It had something called e-mags.

Of course it can't climb  near as fast as the Wankel so the Wankel
loses it anyway..

Is there any way we can get access to a higher rez video of this?
Chris Cosman

Well email is limited to 10 meg so that would be medium rez.

It is over 10 meg.

My camera is only medium rez.

You tube is probably not medium rez. I am sure it is not hi rez.

What part are you interested in. I can crop the medium rez.
