Re: [FlyRotary] single rotor
testing
Rusty if you decide to build a
601 let me know as I have just started building one along with two
other guys and we did a PDX file on the plans and had all the pieces
laser cut and pre punched just like the factory kits and could get you
a file for it, and no I am not going for a rotary I am just going to
bolt on an 0-200 Contisouris, I have done my share of experimenting
and I just want to go fly, still keeping the coot so not abandoning
you guys all together.

I've given up on
running the engine on the Dominator gyro, and already have a
582 Rotax for that. My goal is to decide whether
the single rotor will work well enough to be worth messing with
on a plane, then perhaps build a Zenith 601XL for it. The main
limitation seems to be the low rpm roughness issue. I can
go as low as maybe 2400 rpm, but that still give me about
970 rpm on the prop. This is a bit high, but not a
complete deal breaker, particularly on a plane that isn't too slick.
If that's the only issue, then it will probably be a
go.
Cheers,
Rusty (don't think I
can blame the idle problems on my EC-2)
