I believe the side seal surface is cast
iron and the cooling is the same i.e. water.
Hi George,
I had assumed the same things, but I didn't see
anywhere that looked like the two pieces were joined. I was ready to be
even more impressed in his machining skill if he managed to machine those water
passages in a one piece housing :-)
I'm starting to get pissed (American, not Australian)
at the whole gyrocopter community, and have almost decided to forget about
building one. I'm still unnaturally interested in playing with the single
rotor engine though, so I'll continue messing with the one I have, using a test
stand rather than an aircraft for now. I just wish I had the ability and
equipment to do serious machining. I've got lots of wacky
ideas, and enough housings to keep me busy for quite a while.
Maybe I can resist building anything else until a
perfect LSA aircraft comes out. An RV-12 might make a dandy single rotor
platform :-)
Rusty
