Jim flew his for approx 10 minutes to an airport and then
had to make a go-a-round when a non-radio equipped aircraft took off as he was
preparing to land. Landed successfully. Next morning when He
discovered that when he went to replenish the lost coolant that the engine
leaked like a sieve. All the coolant "O" rings (and anything else rubber)
was shot.
Hi
Ed,
I remember
reading about Jim's belt loss, and probably even have it in the old archives
somewhere. IIRC, Tracy also had a coolant issue once, but I
can't recall exactly how he ended up low (leaked, boiled,
??).
While this
all sounds promising, I just realized that I'm planning to have an
oil/water heat exchanger on the single rotor, so losing water, or water flow is
going to heat the oil as well. Might better go ahead and install that
second EWP, especially since it's only
a couple lbs.
Cheers,
Rusty
