Congratulations, Richard!  A hell of a deal!  I had enough of a problem just adapting the Renesis, I can not imagine trying to build the engine from basically scratch before installing it!

 

There should be a considerable market for an experimental engine in the 100 hp range.  Do you plan to build and sell them?

 

I am curious why you selected the smaller 12A instead of the larger 13B engine for your prototype?  And also why not the higher compression Renesis rotor in the 13B?

 

Bill

It finally happened!

First flight of 15min. Running like a charm.

OAT was 80F, water and oil 187F at climb out and came down to 160 at level flight.

Next is a thorough inspection before the next flight.
