Sorry about the commercial, but believe this is the best spot to get a
plug in for my engine package! You can get a great headstart on building a rotary powered RV and save a bundle of money.
Have decided to part my 9A out and build a LSA since medicals or getting tougher as 70 is upon me. Am currently waiting on my special issuance to arrive and will not plan on filing for a 3rd class next year.
Will sell the rotary and am installing a lycoming in the 9A before selling it.
Do not wish to have the double jeopardy of an alternative engine and
homebuilt combination if I sell it with the rotary.
The engine installation has had minimum problems once I got past a faulty DPDT switch that was apparently backfeeding 12 volts to electronic control and burning the chip which operates off of 5 volts. Flew the 40 hours off in minimum time and have about 20 hours on it since.
Fuel burn is equivalent to a lycoming if leaned which the flight report in Sport Aviation alludes to. That controller does not allow for leaning.
I have over $12K invested and many educational hours involved. Will sell package for $7K,. The gear reduction and electronic controller are built by Tracy Crook at RWS inc, the engine is a street ported 13B built by Bruce Turrentine, the engine mount is by Fred Breese. You get the nose gear leg, dual electronic fuel pumps, intake and manifolds, radiator (Griffen custom aluminum), oil cooler, Sam James cowl, and many more items.
The rotary is coming to SnF so you can see the package there, just call my cell at 772 708 0093 to see it. Email me at jbker@juno.com to see some pictures of installation.
