kgwilson Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 So there you have it. They were either stolen or pirated or they could be the Chinese Rotax knockoffs or they could be as other news sources have noted VW clones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 RF, the boost you need for sea level performance at 10,000 feet is approx 10 inches of mercury or 5 psi I has special turbocharged motors in a Twin Commanche I once owned. The engines were '[special" right through even though they did only what you propose to. Manually controlled exhaust diverters actuated the blowers so there is no chance of overspeeding the turbine(s) if used appropriately.

RFguy Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi Nev. Thanks for the comment and info about what others have done. yeah dumping the flow directly out of the exhaust collector would seem to be to most simple option. IE open a flap with a cable. (and I think you meant to post in the Rotaxaru forum- you can post it there and that will get the knowledge into that forum topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Needs to be much the same as a Cessna Prop pitch adjustment on the singles. The turbo flap is a diverter /splitter. Has to be able to stand the heat. Near white hot. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the Lean Burn problems started trying to get endurance. Maybe they went to the GOODIES. , Not hard to grind numbers off and there's probably not a lot left of it either when it's used. Nev In war, many things operate right on the margin. The engine numbers were probably ground off to enhance the power to weight ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methusala Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 On 28/10/2022 at 2:42 PM, onetrack said: The Russians refuse point blank, to take any responsibility for the crash, have tried to undermine and block the MH17 investigation at every turn, and have refused to participate in the investigation. The above statement is simply a lie. (Goebels: The big lie theory. Look it up.) It seems that I'm not the only person on Earth who remembers this point. The old memory hole works a treat in the west The photos of the remains of MH17 on the port side look like it was hit by an A2A missile fired at the pilot, followed by a burst of 30mm cannon fire. They had to dream up the BUK missile theory as there would not have been any Russian military aircraft anywhere near. The Russians do have radar traces showing a Ukie Mig shadowing MH-17 but, of course, this evidence was "not what the Dutch wanted". So it ended up in the big memory hole.

onetrack Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 There was nothing "dreamed up" about the BUK missile "theory". The fragments collected from the scene were identified as coming from a BUK missile, including a part of a BUK missile serial number. The whole case hinged on finding incontrovertible proof that a Russian BUK missile downed MH17 and that 2 Russians and 1 Ukrainian working for Russias military, downed the plane. I fail to understand how you continually try to defend the indefensible - the fact that the Russians care not a whit for human life - not Ukrainian, not international aircraft passengers (mostly Dutch), and not even their own soldiers. https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/buitenland/artikel/1282246/evidence-proving-flight-mh-17-was-taken-down-buk-missile 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is because we need to constantly bear in mind the FACT that we are being continually propagandised by the powers that be. Below, for those interested in this phenomenon, is a linked study by a recognised Australian research body on how trolling of social media sought to reinforce negative attitudes towards Russia in the current, ghastly military action in the Ukraine. https://consortiumnews.com/2022/11/06/researchers-find-massive-anti-russian-bot-army/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendAn Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Even when so many Russian people risk persecution and jail time by protesting against the government over the Ukraine invasion you still defend the Russian leaders. I am with onetrack. I don't understand why you do it either. A high percentage Russian people seem against this war. When China invades Taiwan will you support them to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
