Understood, and agreed. Large Domestic really has no appeal to me unless as hydration....with nothing better around.

High Life was among the first (large) really weak beers... just before "light" beers became popular.

I was raised just north of Frankemuth MI. I have had beers that fed you like soup...

They started attacking the First Lady over in the politics thread.

I am all for debating and discussing what is screw up in the world of politics, but keep it on topic. Trashing someone wife, who isn't even on the world stage, is out of bounds to me. There is no debate there, only ridicule. Only losers does that when they can't find a way to win.


So I got grumpy, vented a little here as I was gathering my thoughts (my brain has a few leaks) here before I unleashed some ammo in there.

Sorry..... lets get back on topic here:

Where on the bike the turbo is going again?

Kyle, what does a typical torque curve look like for a rotary (is there one?)?

Linear, maybe?

first rotary assisted bicycle? perhaps, but there are (relitively) plenty of rotary powered motorcycles out there.

There isn't a torque "surge" that you may feel on a pistoned engine, its all smoooth power. Max torque drops off relitively early (<4k) but the horsepower starts to increase drastically from there to about 6.5k, so its all a smooth, linear powerband. I can't say anything for turbo'd engines though.

E - sorry to burst your bubble, but RC engines are horrifically over-spec'd. Apparently the engine in the new-ish HPI buggy is 3hp

I'd bet this is only about half a HP. Still, I have a video for you when I get back from the shops. An RC plane engined skateboard
