Dear Paul,
My name is Gerhard Schiffmann, and I've recently completed building
a brand new experimental airplane of my own design (see attached
photo). It is a fiberglass amphibious plane, based off of the Dyke
Delta planform, with the exception that it is a pusher configuration.
The powerplant I selected for my plane is an RX7-20B,
non-turbocharged, rotary. Currently, I'm in the Phase I testing of
the aircraft and have successful completed several high-speed taxi
runs, including a sustained lift-off of a few feet (for about the
distance of the Wright Brothers first flight haha).
I've currently been struggling to program and master the
accompanying engine control module supplied by Traci Crook at Real
World Solutions. In this endeavor, I've been trying to contact Traci,
but have been unable to do so. Therefore, I was hoping to reach out
to other Rotary engine users, in attempt to receive some assistance,
insight, and/or tips on programming these amazing, yet misunderstood,
engines. Obviously, I have the engine up and running, but it's just
the final tuning of the engine for various throttle positions that I
need some assistance with.
Any help or recommendations that you would be gracious enough to
provide, would greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gerhard Schiffmann
I have the source code for Tracy’s engine/fuel controller, but it is
in .asm and more complex than some other EFI/ignition options that
are being developed on this group.
Scott Gettings Hi Scott
I have Tracy’s EC3 system . Does your system have redundancy?
By the way what is a thread (I’m new at this game.) that is why I
typed down here .(Now you can laugh).
Take care
Gary Schiffmann
A thread is a series of messages or comments in chronological order.
A stupid cell phone wants to put them in reverse ontological order.
You did a great Job over coming that Gary :-)
We have an airplane on the SZP field that performs a similar function.
It was certified in Russia with two 3 rotors. When they tried to sell it
in the states they replaced the rotaries with piston engines.
I like to see some pictures of your engine with the cowl off.
