Might as well one-up everyone and do a 6 rotor. (or would that be a two-up?)
I wonder what a 5 rotor would sound like anyway... Audi 5 cylinder, anyone?

Thanks.

Holy crap the 4 rotor stuff is almost here. It's coming from the Kent hub and is on the truck right now.

The owner is out of town. I wonder if he'll let me open the box (when it gets here) and bask in the rotary goodness...

The shaft arrived. It looks nice. Sorry I didn't bring a camera with me. Still waiting for the rest of it.

That is the timing for a 5 rotor. First column is the rotor #, 2nd is the e-shaft position in degrees.. It is supposed to be a secret, so don't tell anyone.

lol

I knew only some might 'get it'. A math wiz, or maybe a PhD with an interest in rotaries. It happened to be the latter (Kent in a different thread).

I have to admit that if I were to see those numbers, with no point of reference, I'd not even pay any attention. Then if somebody like me were to post them; someone who is kinda into multi rotor engines, as I am, then it's not a stretch to sort of add up the angles and get what the numbers are for. Then again, who ever heard of a 5 rotor? That's just crazy talk, right? I aims to find out.
