Ed,
On a 13B for P-P, you would not worry a lot
about weight. Just convert it the way it is.
Caution, I believe you should wait for the first
P-P to get some air time behind it before copying it.
Is Jerry going to be the first one?

Hey, Richard, 260HP for a "P" port two rotary 13B
would ..ah hem .. be "acceptable". So let us know when the
two rotor "P" housing are ready {:>).

Have been running the one rotor on p-port for a
while. Aiming for 115hp per rotor on 12A housings at 7500RPM(be happy with
100hp in the end). These estimates should give 150hp for 13B housings, more
likely 130, making 260 for a 13B. I know this is worse than other p-port
proponents predict, but this is what I am working toward. If more power
(over stock) is the issue, p-port is the solution, also simplicity. I have
not found any real negatives, for air craft use, in it.

Hey, all looking forward to your first flight in the
8, Rusty. Fortunately on my trip to Louisiana and back I managed to
find 100LL for $3.25, but saw it as high as $4.60. Could be 75 cent
/gallon different from two different vendors on the same airfield.
Certainly making me consider going back to Mogas since its down to
$2.08/gallon around here.

So my viewpoint is anybody who wants to experiment
with "P" ports should be encouraged to do so - we all learn from
experimentation - but, its not necessary if your objective is producing
160-170 HP.
Ed
Couldn't agree more Ed.
I still find PPorts interesting, and have some
used housings to play with, so it's definitely on my "one of these days"
list of things I want to try. If you're looking for a
power level that can be reached by either PPorts or side ports, the side
port road will be much easier to travel.
Cheers,
Rusty
(DAR inspection 11th, first flight 12th or 18th, bankruptcy after
filling up with 100LL)
