Not to bag on them but there not the most reliable for the price or the weight. When i was off web browsing I found these guys http://www.rotaryae.com/ They are rotary but you may want to take a peek they changed my mind from the lycoming, VW for my Quickie Q-200 I now have one on order as soon as there testing or something like that is done. If they haven't even started testing them yet, what makes you think they'll be more reliable than Rotaxes or half-VWs? Ron Wanttaja There more reliable cause they have tested the industrial rotary not aviation rotary and has been proven on experimental aircraft already. The changes from the industrial engine to aviation engine is really to make it handle the altitude changes and endure constant strain for hours on end and more. For example on the reliability a man purchased a rotary engine, he was unaware that the engine did not have oil already in it for shipping reasons. He mounted it flew on it for four hours before noticing a power decrease. He called the manufacture and ask for the assistance after a few exchanging of words he got his answer. He found out that he burnt out the rotary piston and did some damage to his carb. Heres the part i died over in disbelief 462.us$ dollars later he had his engine ready to go again. |
