REFLECTOR: Auto Conversions

[Al Gietzen]

Someone has a 3 rotor Mazda I think- some other installations on Standard
fuse models as well.

I have a 3-rotor in my SE RG.  It would be an excellent engine for an XL.
See 'Engine' and 'Engine dynometer test' at
http://members.cox.net/alg3/airplane.htm.  IO540 power for less weight and
less money.  Doing an alternative engine installation is definitely a
challenge, and adds time to the building process - I estimate about 600-700
hrs on mine, out of a total of more than 4000 hrs. - but I think this is a
great engine for an aircraft.  Just begun flight testing so still things
about the installation to prove out.

One of the other posts mentioned using an auto conversion. Has anyone put an
auto conversion on

an XL yet? I am a year away from selection an engine, but The price point of
an

auto engine is really hard not to at least consider. Anybody have any
thoughts?

 

Thanks
