RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor

The rotors seem to need the ability to 'feel' and spool up on there own. With prop wash...the rotors would spin at a fairly constant speed producing an near equal amount of lift. That would be ideal...

RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor

With the rotors turing at the same speed...there will be no way to turn. If you do enter a turn with your current setup...you will over bank and crash. I think this is why the designer of the Tumble...

RE: Substitute for Ether

Wow.. a 1 litre bottle of "Escort" brand kerosene is nearly $7 at Canadian Tire. If you look...you will see the same brand in the 9.76 L size jug for $15 dollars at CT. Quite the savings on...

RE: Bad night with K&B .65

I never had much luck with my original Sportster carb. I opted to swap a Super Tigre carb from a .40 that had the same throttle bore size. It is a superior carb for tuning (has idle mixture...

RE: JD Starting Fluid

I had no idea there were so many JD dealerships in my area. I didn't even have to go further than 10 miles to get it. JD has lots of other things to buy as well. I was unable to leave without buying...

RE: JD Starting Fluid

Yeah...I just couldn't see holding the spray down to empty the can while all the ether evaporated! Yikes. I imagine without good ventilation serious health risks may arise. Thanks for the advice....

RE: Dieselized Norvel .40

Yeah...I figure I'd waste too much time trying to get a Norvel conversion right (however...I also own the 15 and 25 sized motors). I would definately buy a true diesel first and mix fuel to make it...

RE: Dieselized Norvel .40

I have a Norvel 40 and have to say that I like it so far. I have not tried Diesel on any engine as of yet but would consider it. How is the situation on attaining additives here in Canada? From what...

RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor

Keep up the good work. I'll be watching this thread with interest! I might just go back to re-think my project a little. I need to re-make a wing tip as I smashed one late last season. Also I'm...

RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor

The wing tips are not fixed...they rotate on the shaft extending from the middle of the aircraft. These shafts are turned buy a common servo much like a normal fixed wing. Ball bearings at the center...

RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor

I found this type to need great amounts of thrust as 'lifting cylinders' creat large amounts of drag. I built and flew a modified version of Roy's Tumblewing. I hear Roy has recently passed....RIP. ...

RE: Roy L. Clough, Jr

Roy Clough Jr. had another "Hoop" plane that I saw on the web. It was called the "Ringer". I'll see if I can attach a picture with this post.
