Stefan,
Which engine are you going with? I'm seriously considering a WW
Corvair. Not 100% sold on it yet.

I am not 100% sure as of yet but I may have to sale my 701 project and
just was wondering if there would be any interest in a partially
completed 701.
Fuselage is on wheels and has tail section attached.
Wings are 80% complete
Control surfaces all done expect 1/2 of 1 slat and 1 aileron
Again not sure if it will be up for sale yet will know more in a couple
of months
just wanted to know if there was any interest.

Sorry to hear the news John and scratch built at that. I hope you can find a way
around it. I only have a scratch built rudder, stab and elevator, but I can't
imagine selling it, its kinda part of me, so anyway I'm wishing you good fortune!

I'll second that....info on your experiences welcome. FWIW I was short 2 - 300
rpm with my Jabiru prop for the first 200 hrs then I had a more suitable prop
made. Now climbs at 3200 rpm on some days it can get over 3300. this prop is 64
x 30" wood looks similar to the Sensenich that is available in US. For the revmaster
it might have to be a smaller dia. because of higher rpm. Every inch
off the dia needs an extra 2" to the pitch for same engine load.
The prop change was the turning point in the development of the powerplant for
me. Until that time I did not know if the engine was short due to wrong intake,
carb or exhaust.

I will also be interested in your results with the RevMaster. Keep us informed
about temps, cruise, etc.

you want them to run even then turn one off until the other catches up. (just
like a Cherokee) All in all awesome aircraft! Already got 5 hours in it.

The prop is, I think 60 x 32 Prince P Tip. I haven't sent it back for rework. I
am having to much fun flying it! It will get off the ground in about 300' and
climb about 600 fpm, I know this is short of everyone else's performance.
The exhaust Left is running 1285 deg. Right is 950 deg. Heads, left 290 deg and
right is 180 deg. It is consuming 5 gals per hour and with the current prop
cruise is 70 mph at 2800 rpm.
I hope a pitch change will bring rpm's up 300 more which would be 3200
This is all I know about it right now. (It sure is a ton of fun to fly!)
The Revmaster is a great engine, I had one in a Sonerai. It is priced right also.
