Hangar Flying / Rotary engine prop
« on: November 23, 2005, 10:29:20 AM »
Does anyone out there run with a Mazda 13B Rotary engine?  I have one in my canard Viggenite with a Ross 2:17 redrive and it runs great.  The prop is a 3 blade wood from Performance Propellers (68 x 73).  They don't seem to have a lot of chord to the blades.  Cruise is OK but T/O & climb could be much better.  Any prop experts out there that might have a better idea for a fixed pitch application?  How about 2 blade VS 3 blade?  I've been leaning heavily to the Prince 3 blade composite Q-tip prop (68 x 60).

Hangar Flying / Cockpit heater
« on: November 18, 2005, 08:46:35 PM »
Greetings to all from St Louis,
I have a 2000 Canard Viggenite, (similar to a Vari-Viggen but built from aluminum).  I'd like to know what you guys use for heat in the cockpit, how you installed it, power source, etc.  I'm primarily looking for some type of electric heater I can install in the nose or between the tandem seats.  I know a lot of you live in sunny climates but it gets a bit cold here in Missouri. We fly year round as long as the runway/taxiways are clear.  Until I install a heater I won't be doing much winter flying.  Any thoughts?
