Flew over today, to watch Earnest put together
his 13B NA for his Dyke Delta project.
A couple of others were there to watch the show
as well. Earnest got it together in fine fashion (after finding out that
the small triangular part of the apex seal can (will?) hop out of its slot into
undesirable locations like:
1. Inside the rotor itself (the oil cooling
passages)
2. Inside the side housing coolant
galleys.
But with the help of hylomar on end of a brush, a
pick and some well chosen words, all were retrieved {:>).
All in all, Earnest put it together like a
pro. His self make ceramic coated rotors and using a dry film lubricant
were a different approach than I had seen anyone else try. So looking
forward to seeing it run in the near future.
His engine installation has a couple of features
not commonly seen including an EWP, induction blower and integrated PM generator
among others. So will be looking forward to the results of these efforts
as well.
A fun day.
