From: Dustin Lobner To: Rotary motors in aircraft Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=0015174c3894e3734c04958a3829 --0015174c3894e3734c04958a3829 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Some talk on HomeBuiltAirplanes.com forums brought up the question, has someone ever used nitrous oxide on a rotary aircraft install? I'm pretty sure a supercub-type plane did that awhile back (on a Lyco) for a super short takeoff roll using a fixed pitch cruise prop (with a crapton of HP at takeoff). That's close to my application in the end, probably with a N/A 20B, hence the interest. Tracy, how would your EC3 handle short bursts of nitro? Would that totally throw the mixture curve, would I need to manual adjust while doing it, or would it auto compensate somehow? Thanks!
