Andy,
Yikes? More like "Oh @#$*&@!&#$!" How did you get back to straight and
level? Have you had aerobatic training?

Training... Hum, that would be a good idea. I have done spin training during my
PPSEL work way back when. Just upright spins in a 172 mind you.
As for what to do when inverted, just roll it on around. You are going slow at
this point and end up fairly nose low so don't delay in bringing it back up. You
DO NOT want to split S out of this situation!
So, now that we know what happens in this case, it's most likely best for us all
to avoid this certian combination of control inputs unless we are ready to deal
with the results!
Good luck out there, and of course keep the dirty side down (mostly)...
- Andy

I'm very pleased to announce that RV-9endurance, kit # 90113, has
now become an airplane. Power is supplied by a Turbocharged 13B Mazda rotary
engine, with a 76" 3-blade IVO Magnum with electronic constant speed
governor. It was built from a standard kit and engine was rebuilt myself
from a junkyard engine. Everything was done myself, including paint &
upholstery. I'm extremely pleased with and proud of the results.
The plane fly's exactly as I remembered from my demo flight 3 years
ago. Very easy to fly. The engine is very smooth & quiet. So far I've not
used any boost at all as we've been very conservative with it.
As I'm a student pilot, I now am looking forward to finishing my
training in my own plane. Test pilot for the first 3 flights is an
experienced commercial bush pilot, however as he was unfamiliar with the
rotary engine (but very interested in it), I was along as flight engineer.
This worked very well as all he had to do was fly the plane. All other
duties were my responsibility.
As my test pilot/instructor has had to return to his regular flying
job, testing is on hold for a week. I'm still in the "Holy ****, I can't
believe it's flying" phase, so next flights will begin to put the plane
through it's paces.
As every first flight report before has stated, It really is worth
all the sacrifices and hard work, so keep on pounding! I found the building
process to be tremendously enjoyable, particularly the FWF development of an
alternative engine, however it sure is pretty damn cool to be flying it now!
:-)
Thanks to the FlyRotary group and the AeroElectric list for all the
knowledge that is freely shared.
The adventure continues......

Todd,
Congratulations on a massive undertaking. Now the fun begins. Now all you
have to do is post some pictures of your plane and installation so all the
rest of us can drool from afar.

That previous send was an oops..
Firstly, congratulations... much congratulations.
I started following your project about a year ago when I started my RV9 kit and
was particularly interested in your audacity to go with the Mazda Rotary. I have
been thinking alternative engine for my 9 and if I can muster the courage
like you to put a 13B rotary together like you did, I certainly will.
Anyhow, thanks for your very informative web-site... heaven knows how you made
the time to keep it going, and build a marvellous flying object at the same time.
