Hi Rusty,
First, Leon is alive and well,
heard from him over Christmas. Don't know status of Dyno effort, he
appears to be in the process of moving his project shop at the moment.
Second, Todd is apparently going
to try the Ford evaporator cores as they fit is cowl spacing requirements better
than the GM. However, unless Ford has changed the construction of their
cores, I fear he is going to find that due to the very small cross section of
the Ford core tubes that they will not flow adequate coolant to keep a 130 hp or
more powerful engine within the desired temp range. However, since I have
not tried the Ford cores, it will be interesting to see whether that hypothesis
turns out to be correct or not. I presume you will be using the GM
cores?

Subject: [FlyRotary] Ordered my EWP
Greetings
all,
My re-worked engine
should be on it's way back from Bruce soon, and I'm finishing up the final
details on the fuselage. In the next few weeks, the engine should
be mounted, and I will be ready to FINALLY get started on the fun part
:-)
With that in mind, I
ordered a Meziere EWP today, along with their adapter block. Bruce is
supplying a side alternator mount, so I'll be removing the stock water
pump housing completely. So I guess we'll have two tests. Todd can
try the Davies Craig, and I'll try the Meziere.
What ever happened to our
mate Leon's dyno test. I wonder if a croc got him
:-)
Cheers,
Rusty
