I don't think he was quite to that point - but very
close. He had a casting of the metal insert for the wear surface of the
side housing and the mold for the aluminum casting that the insert would bolt
to. Looks like he had solved the coolant sealing challenge between the
insert and the aluminum plate. Sort of nice in that if the wearing surface
becomes too worn to redo - simply unbolt it and bolt in a new one.
Hey
Richard,
Are you
working toward producing these for sale? Do you know when you'll be up and
running with the new housings?
There are a few planes that can accept a single rotor
as is, but I think we're going to need aluminum housings to ever make it into
the mainstream. I had always hoped Racing Beat would finally get theirs
done, but I've all but given up hope on them now.
Thanks,
Rusty (Sonex
