Mazda single rotor weight?
Atkins lists the weight of their single rotor "industrial" version of
the Mazda 13B at 80 lbs and their marine version at 130. I've got most of a 13B apart on the shop floor with the idea of building a truncated version for aviation use but I'd like to know if the weights are anywhere near real world before I chuck the eccentric shaft in the lathe. I'd toss the bits and pieces in a bucket and weigh the whole lot but unfortunately I don't have all of the little things needed to make a motor actually burn fuel, like water pump and induction system. So what I'd like to know is if these numbers can be duplicated without having to resort to expensive aluminum end housings. Anybody out there with firsthand experience with single rotor 13B's? ====================== Leon McAtee Yes, I know I'll have to add the weight of a PSRU................ |
