Hi all,
I have been lurking in the background trying to
learn what I can. I intend to use a rotary in the BD-4 I am currently
building. It will be some time before I actually need an engine but there
are some questions I have regarding the use of a 13b vs. a 20b.
1: What is the difference (average
installation) between the installed weight of the two?
2: What is the cost difference in 13b NA, 13b
turbo, 20b NA?
3: Do Tracy's components work with the 20b
(EC2 and RD-1C)?
The reason I ask these things at this point is that
I am (as most) building on a budget. I also am at a stage that I need to
make a decision about whether or not to extend the fuselage on my plane.
The back seat in a BD-4 has practically no leg room. I am looking at
extending the fuselage to get 5"-6" more inches leg room in the back seat.
This would work if I can afford a 20b to counter the change in CG that comes
with the fuselage extension. And there is also the fact that more power is
always a good thing.
Thanks in advance for any help given,
Bryan
