----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Jacobs The rotary engines keeps popping up (in my research) as a viable and very reliable engine with good potential for aircraft use.
Can you point me toward any sites where they are already working in this capacity? Do you know what the "compression" equivalent is - will the engine windmill if the motor quits? ----------------------------------------- This is an excellent question given how slippery the KR2's are. I have a Hirth 2 stroke (not flown yet, but soon, I hope) when towed down the road, on a trailer, the prop starts to windmill at about 80 kph (50 mph) and I'm concerned about having enough drag to stop before the end fence.
