Construction Record of My BD-4 Project  BD-4 homebuilt aircraft designed by Jim Bede.
At last, I've got the engine running. First engine start January 7, 2004. Here are some videos of the engine running. Combination engine start and run video in wmv format, best for Windows users (1.4 Mbytes). Engine start in mpeg format, (8 Mbytes). Engine run video in mpeg format (46 Mbytes). Expect long download times for the mpeg clips unless you have a high speed connection.
An excellent source of information
about the BD-4 is http://www.bd-4.org Spend an hour listening to the the rotary engine discussion group at Sun 'n Fun 2004. Caution, this is a 64 Mbyte WAV file. I will make a smaller file as soon as I figure out how.
