Tom,
Mistral obviously built a few test and pre production 3 Rotor engines but I do not
know how you would get your hands on any of the parts...........Steve Thomas of this
list (Mistral 2 rotor in a Glasair 2 RG) was in contact with some of the principals of
the company until they took bankruptcy...........Perhaps he has some helpful info......

This question on Mistral Intakes reminds me of a question I have about the possibility of getting a Mistral three rotor intake. Anyone know if this possible and if so where would I get one?

Jack,
You need to talk to Chris Barber in Texas (Mistral Intake) and Steve Thomas in Calif (Complete Mistral 13B)....
I only have the Mistral backplate for mounting to Lycoming "Dynafocal" engine mount.........There may be others
on the list that have the Mistral engine or intake............

Subject: [FlyRotary] Mistral Intake Documentation?
Good afternoon all,
I bought an in-progress RV-9A project from a builder in Florida a while back. I had intended to put a rotary in it anyway, but the previous builder already had a Bruce Turrentine 13B long block in hand with a Mistral intake, an RD-1C, Tracy's 'black boxes' (v2), Tech Welding cooling cores and a Conversion Concepts' engine mount available at a reasonable price so I bought the firewall forward parts as well.
I've been working my way through the rivet banging portion of the project and it's about time to start preliminary work with the engine. I've decided to build a test stand and get the motor running this summer. What I've been unable to find (so far) in the accompanying paperwork is any documentation for the Mistral parts (intake manifold, fuel rail, etc.). Does anyone on the list have Mistral documentation that they would be willing to share? Specifically, I’d like to obtain an exploded or annotated diagram with call-outs of the intake manifold and fuel rail. It would be excellent if the torque specs for all fasteners on the two parts were available as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
