      @@stevedunn854 I don't disagree that the rotor/plate failure was a blunder. 👍 I still take the broader view that the channel owner's general skill set, which is plainly evident in all of his build videos, is such that it shouldn't be unthinkingly dismissed out of hand (which is the tone of Alexander's comment). A simple mention of the rotor/plate issue, or even a gentle critique, would have been the correct and diplomatic approach here. It's instructive to consider that JohnnyQ90 could have edited out this particular event, but he didn't. His long-established M.O. should guide our corresponding feedback.

    Terrific project! Congratulations. I love these little OS Wankels and have two of them. One thing, a propellor, in addition to providing the rotational momentum like your flywheel, also functions as a radiator fan to push air over the fins on the engine to cool it. Your IR camera didn't show things to be too bad, but in the long run that may be a problem. I suppose you could use an external fan for bench running.

      @@inoahmann7542 Hahaha... oil cooling through oil loss, it will still overheat the rear rotor and housing. In a loaded application with a proper tune, it will certainly overheat.
      The rear rotor and housing is in a draft shadow AND if intended for an enclosed under a car shell and used at high rpm (14,000 is a pointless operational rev anyway) it won't last long.
      As stated, easier and better ways to configure multi-rotor engines given a gear reduction drive will be used anyway.

      @inoahmann7542 2 года назад

      @@BTW... Not oil cooling, actually evaporative cooling from excess methanol boiling off and not being burned. It has a very strong cooling effect. To brake in a nitro engine in cold weather you need to block off all it's cooling fins because otherwise it'll never get up to operating temp, and that's running the engine with a load, sometimes running it wot for a few seconds at a time. In a car it would need a cooling duct and fan to run with a proper tune but these engines don't need a ton of cooling like gas engines do. I don't know about this engine specifically, but I've seen os rotary engines rev out to 25-29k before (unloaded). Most nitro engines can rev in excess of 30k rpm and some can rev over 40k.

    Now I'm really fascinated by Flowmax mufflers. They had sound engineers design them to give optimum performance with less noise.
    Noise is the ONE thing I dislike about these small engines. Add a big muffler and it might not work at all. It's not very easy to make a good one, but I wish I could find one for these small class of engines.

    This thing is super cool and when it comes to the single carb making run lean I believe it’s because you have the airflow doing two 90 degree turns before entering the engine the fuel in the mixture is getting caught on these turns especially the first one I think it would work if it was a less aggressive angle off into each cylinder
