Hi Jean, do you remember who was displaying the LS1 firewall forward
package? I'd like to look and see if they have information on the net.

Hello

Just few words of my Sun'Fun trip...

-More LSA than ever including "The Patriot" from Zenith : look as a
701 with the wings at same level than the cabin and no leading edge
"flaps", the cowling strait (not "nose up" as the 701) Much better look
than the 701 but how is it fly? Look fragil... Usually the LSA area
was looking very quiet...

-Less "used parts/junk supplier... a bad thing for a "real"
homebuilder...

-I do not have any idea of the real attendance, but friday/saturday were
busy, sunday really dead

-Funny "Rebel all together" tuesday night. We should do it twice...

-There was always couple "really new" engines with solid future... but
they were not there this year...! In the engine work shop, we had as
running engine:

1- A nice firewall foward with a 350hps 365# of torque Corvette LS1
engine for RV-10 (or Moose...) Run smooth, start at the first tour
(except 1 day from a vapor lock!) Have a cluth on reduction (have jam
one day...?). But the package was clean. I am a bit afraid of some
components that have not there place in airplane (but ok on streets) Can
be easily change for better quality parts and better design (connectors,
fittings etc.) If the reduction prove to be reliable, it will be a
strong challenger to the $60 000.00 Lycoming/Continental...

Some "new" rotary... No new diesel, except that a Thorp was equipped with
a WAM 120 with 400 hours of fly... It will be an option (on Jabiru 3300)



The 4 hangars where the places the most busy (avionics, new parts,
insurance, Lyco, US tools etc)

A bit more commercial every years, but the sun is there, volunters in the
different workshops are fun to spend time with them, a lots of airplane,
a lot of pilot/builder, I am still enjoying it very much!

Hope to see you there next year ( for my 8th times / 5 as a volunter).

As usual you have probably a lot of fun with my english... but not as
much as I had last week! lol

Hi Mike, if Jean doesn't have it
I have their business card and I took a picture because I felt that some of
you might like the info. I will find them later today and send you the
picture if you like.

Cheers

That's the one.

It is a double spur gear design psru with a heavy duty centrifugal
clutch. About 60 pounds for the drive. It is very robust and has had
write ups in Contact magazine. Most folks assume the torsional vibration
issues are always most severe at idle and below and that a clutch solves
the problem. Based on calculations and basic observation, I don't agree
with that assumption for my 4 cylinder soob. I haven't looked at it for
V-8's but at least this psru and engine combination has run successfully
for several hundred hours. A V-8 is easier on a gearbox than a 4
cylinder. It's more expensive than a Marcotte drive.

I would love to hear a theory as to why he has found mineral gear oil to
work better than synthetic gear oil if anybody has ideas ??
