Ben,
Fluid dampers are good but their heavy and I
believe that's the reason why their not used in Aviation ( to my knowledge),
especially where FWF weight is critical.
We have all been through 'baptism' on the other
site.
I did mean to say Ben - why didn't you put all your
efforts to developing the rotary . With your obvious skills you would have
made a major contribution - perhaps next time !?
I'm still trying to get my head around those
kick-outs on the
aft end of the rad outlet. I'm trying to confirm
WHY they work - anyone got any suggestions.

George. I have been building racing engines for years. I have never
had a crack break from harmonics while using these guys product. Here is
a link to their website that gives the details on how it
functions.
After reading all the posts on here for the last few days I
have to say you guys are all moving forward toward a common and
successful conclusion. Keep on experimenting !!!!! The
"other" rotary site I got trashed on is, how can I say
this politely ??? Well, lets just say it is entertaining for
sure. <GG>

Ben,
Good work!
You certainly picked up on many of the
problems associated with auto engine conversions. I particularly like
the mixture block for the Holly carb.
While I was searching for a pen I missed
what you said you used for a damper - did you say you used a fluid
damper ?

Hi Jeff and all others. I am a newbie to the
group but a serious auto engine fanatic. I feel your
pain on the cooling issues with a "slow"
plane. I can expand on that if you or anyone
else is interested.

I
guess some people must actually be flying
…
Personally,
I’m almost ready to fly again after another round
of modifications to oil cooling system. My
slow, 105 mph airplane is having difficulty
keeping the oil temperature below redline (210F)
above 4000 rpm. Have added a second oil
cooler - now have one each side of engine,
similar-looking to dual evaporator cores (for
water) in RVs. Since I can’t cruise at 160
mph have decided that 2x surface area is needed to
make up for 1.6x airspeed.

Hey
gang!
I
came across a rare find this weekend.
Any
serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate
this.
Bluelines
from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary
engine.
I
just put them up on eBay
