Atkins lists the weight of their single rotor "industrial" version of
the Mazda 13B at 80 lbs and their marine version at 130. I have got most
of a 13B apart on the shop floor with the idea of building a truncated
version for aviation use but I would like to know if the weights are
anywhere near real world before I chuck the eccentric shaft in the
lathe.
I would toss the bits and pieces in a bucket and weigh the whole lot but
unfortunately I do not have all of the little things needed to make a
motor actually burn fuel, like water pump and induction system.
So what I would 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?
