All,
I have concluded that it's time to transition to a Lycoming on my RV-8. I love the concept of the Rotary, but with a young family and many other distractions, my season of life no longer affords me the time to tinker with an auto-conversion. That said, I thought I'd offer it to you all first to see if there is any interest. I would like to sell the entire firewall forward Powersport package, minus the MT prop that I will retain for my new engine.
It's currently installed on the plane in central Utah and anyone interested would be welcome to come fire it up and inspect it prior to removal. It runs great and pulls hard, but I have not been able to find a method to adequately cool it to my liking. I am certain it can be accomplished as the previous owner/builder successfully flew it for a couple hundred hours. However, as I mentioned, I can't afford the time required. I am not looking to make a killing off of it....I just hate to see it languish in the corner of my hangar and go unused. I am also not in any rush as other projects will have my attention for the next few months. With that in mind, if anyone is interested please shoot me an email at
Hendoii@yahoo.com and we can discuss any offers out there. I will always be grateful to you all for the support you have offered on my Rotary journey!
Thanks,
Ryan
