Greg,
Their intake is very good, I prompted Francois on
going PP but he wasn't interested - claiming PP =reduced longevity. Of course
any engine running harder will not last as long and their aiming for
longevity.
So the intake is a 4 port ( I think), pretty
standard construction but with a very nice fuel catcher, very neat
indeed.
I really couldn't give any idea on which intake is
the best, as you say their all different but if you come up with a good design
and it is proven and cost effective, your on a winner. I'm sure Mistral wouldn't
mind the competition.
I passed the exhaust design on to PL's site, so I
will pass them on here it your interested.
Greg I also have some calculations on intake
sizing, if your interested - if it helps.

Hey George;
I have no argument with that, and my sympathy goes to
them on their recent crash, but they could at least return an email or a call
and tell me to go to hell. Didn't even get that, and I may have been a
potential client for an engine. Not a good way to do Public Relations,
and I being in business, can relate to that.
Greg

Greg,
To be fair, their up to their neck in work
trying to get their own development sorted out, this last problem with the
exhaust wasn't particularly helpful.
The problem is, from what I hear, that us
experimental chaps take up a lot of time and they haven't got the time
to put to such small sales. Things may be better down the track, when they
have everything sorted.
I've even offered Mistral details of an exhaust
that Bill Jepson and I have been working on and they didn't even respond to
that, I"M SURE only because they haven't got the time

If you knew what I have been going through getting a
turbo manifold for a 20B built, you wouldn't even try. I tried
communicating with Mistral several times about one of their manifolds,
there was no interest in helping me out.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Mistral/
Intake manifolds
Just thought I'd ask around. A few people purchased intake manifolds
from Mistral and I'm trying to find out a few things about them.
First of all, what versions of the 13B did they fit? How much do they
weigh? Originally, what were they selling them for.
As I understand it, they no longer sell them to joe-public, nor do
the new unit's fit on the standard 13B? Are there builders out there who
would prefer to buy a ready to install manifold for their projects?
Thanks guy's!
