RE: Norseman project

Sounds like the hstab is set at to much positive incidence. Being a high wing airplane, it should probably be set a degree or so positive but 4 degrees sounds a little much for the wing being set at...

RE: O.S. 49-PI Wankel

The centrifugal force of the rotor spinning, applies more pressure to the apex seals than just what the springs are applying to them. I would rather follow OS's instructions and use fuel with 25%...

RE: Merco 4 stroke??

RE: 3D Models of Propellers Sought
