Scott,
My Internet has been interrupted lately (flooding up north)
..so couldn't get back straight away .. Good thinking on being able to
hold HP up high ..have to wonder about 'watering the horse' though with
all that fuel endurance .... My 'endurance' due bladder ..!!! is only
a couple of hrs though ..!!!
On my engine build ... well the engine is in some ways the easy part and
i do like water for head cooling etc ...but the Redrive with an auto
conversion is much more problematic .. !!! Should come in under 300lbs
... will re total the weights this week ..
Hey ..Bill Schertz ...how bout chiming in with some back up with ur
Cruiser .... it has a Rotary rite ..or ..or ..?
Cheers
Graham

Yes, I have installed a Mazda Rotary (Wankel) engine in my TR-4. I
don=99t have a Firewall Forward weight per-se, but my weight and
balance came out okay, with any configuration of fuel and one person
(pilot) it has a CG near the forward allowed, so I conclude that it is
comparable to an O-360 all up weight.
I have just finished the 40 hours and am working on reducing the data. I
may repeat some tests, because near the end I did another Pitot Static
test and had a leak that had to be fixed. After I repeat some of the
numbers to verify them I will post the results.
Weather is crummy here, and I am traveling during February and part of
March, so it may be a while.
