procharger Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 If you haven't been there and you live close enough to go do it, my first time was really good. Gyro copters, were a lot of them, don't want one but there were a bunch of nice ones to see. Lots of exp. and home built flying and landing every 20 seconds or so on grass runway. Went into the Rotax tent talked to Dean at lockwood. He said the flywheel doesn't do much for starting, well to late I have it now, anyway got some good information. Red Bull air race demo. was really good , they flew Friday and Sat saw the Honda Viking engine looked really good, had the gear box in my hand taken apart, very nice unit time will tell.Engine was in two planes there. very clean install, not much wiring and plumbing.

Anticept Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Dean's words might not be within enough context... it certainly does help with making starting smoother, but it won't solve any existing starting problems. Roger did mention checking carbs and other systems first before going crazy inside the engine :-). All the flywheel does is shifts the timing a bit. Now it most definitely will do a lot more to help prevent a kickback since it waits until after TDC to fire, but again: so long as the fuel isn't detonating.

Anticept Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yea we checked the chokes on both sides they were correct. Mind if I ask if the mechanic actually took them off to make sure the correct discs were on the correct side? I know I'm being a little naggy, but I'm just wanting to help :-). Hows the sprag install going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procharger Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes he and I both checked them, even took another set off another CT to make sure, starting the clutch stuff Monday If I can get it started and fly it to his place.
