Soleair Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Blimey - look at the specs on this ! So all they need is someone to build it, a few years troubleshooting, and it's jam tomorrow - yaay! Meanwhile, anyone got an exhaust to sell for a 503? Bruce

Soleair Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Come on, Bex - you're just anxious it might work! 1 1
bexrbetter Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Come on, Bex - you're just anxious it might work! Yeah, nah, same old , same old for a rotary; Too much combustion surface area and sealing issues, they have achieved nothing other than make one even more complicated.. Type rotary engine into Youtube, Google Patents or PESwiki sometime, give yourself a week or two to go through them. The Douglas site is awesome too for investigating everything that's "been done before". http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/POWER/unusualICeng/rotaryIC/rotaryIC.htm http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/museum.htm The only engine I fear is Rotax's next update. 1
rgmwa Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 The only engine I fear is Rotax's next update. Except that the price will probably be updated along with the engine. rgmwa 1 1
