Subject: [FlyRotary] Three or two?
Hi group. As I told in previous questions, I’m
building a Cozy MK IV, and I like the Rotary idea. I would like to have between
200 and 250 HP, since in Chile we don’t have such long runways like in
the U.S. and is a pretty mountainous country. Regarding this, which way is
better, a three or two rotor engine? Is the three rotor too heavy? Can I use a
turbo in a two rotor engine without affecting reliability and weight?
Etc…
Thanks.
