Also stopped by Mistral. Same stuff as two years ago. Apparently they never
got any takers on their "discounted engine" to fly a 10 to OSH. In summer of
2004, my building partner went home to Switzerland to visit and visited the
engineers at the factory. They were unable to fly the two rotor version in
the Piper Arrow more than 30 minutes without redlining the coolant. I
watched the start of their Arrow at OSH but you should nave seen the cooling
ducts , two very large openings on the lower front cowl and two normally
size cowl openings on the top front cowl. There were two or four sets of
louvers on the aft surfaces of the cowl. The original Arrow did not have
cowl flaps but this Arrow did as well as a muffler hanging below the
aircraft. After a few computer strokes the pilot got the engine going. Also
there response to the mount problem was "we will provide a list of our
partners and send them the specs and they can build you a mount". It appears
the cowl mods would be builders problem.
