Nice description , Jos. There is always no substitute for experience and yours is starting to build. Being able to write it all down like that is a skill that depends on a very good memory. You shoul

Raimo & Jos imho it is complicated by the different mixtures the cylinders receive cause by the convoluted shape of the inlet manifolds. Heavy unvapourised fuel droplets will tend to be sent forward

Jeff The thing to remember above all else is that ALL the cooling air should go throught the radiators or the cylinder fins. Mainly the radiators. (Not much heat comes through the cylinder walls, its

Terry you are right. I didn't make my point clearly enough. The important thing is to achieve a good pressure difference between the upstream and downstream sides of the radiators. Cooling the muffle

He has to lift his body in! That's the way I did it when Thomas Scherer took me flying a few weeks after my big mistake. (not accepting a controlled crash) I had lost 35lbs from a fitish 170 lbs so t

Jeremy I stand (pardon me, I sit,) corrected. I did have a very nice beer in Bratislava the other day, (Slovakia) I couldn't remember how to spell Czech so I wrote Slovak ;-) Trouble with some of the

Graham Clarke of Gemin fame, an ex member, did develop a model for his own flight sim software. He once showed me taxiing up to the hangar at Wombleton on his laptop.I don't have an email address for

There is a significant risk of invisible damage imho so I would not want to test to more than 3 G. Check for any permanent deflection unloaded then retest and check again that deflections remain the

Terry I suspect you are right. If an O-360 Lycoming can be cooled with an inlet area of only 14 square inches why does it take the same (aprox) to cool a Rotax? Graham

Not exactly Richard, The main issue is mass times velocity squared, so it's both speed and number of molecules Viscocity comes into it too becaues flutter is a resonance issue. Graham

John thanks a lot for that. There are three or four Jabiropas here. One I know of is very happy but the others less so. My main question is do you have any baffles to force the cooling air throught t

John thanks again! btw, why not use an ASI connected wrong way round to measure the pressure differential inside the cowl, easier and more convenient than flying with water filled tubes in the cockpi
