Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: RD1C to FC Housing
Jim,
I do not have all the numbers in front of me at
the moment
as to the weight. The FC housing is a pressure
casting and
relatively light. The primary difference will be a
forward
(Tractor A/C) movement of the 13B C/G. My motive
is to put
the prop forward and have the eng cowl fair
directly into
the radius of the 16 inch spinner.

Kelly, I was thinking about doing the same thing and
greatly reducing the size of the nose airscoops. Have you given any thought to that this will do to
the aerodynamics of the nose? John made some noise
about Tom Bauer having some problems when he
switched his engine air intake from the bottom to
one of the nose openings, but it was never clear
what that problem was.
