Hi Everyone,

First time posting, I've tried to search for this (I'm not too great at searching the forum for terms with more than 1 word, any tips here would also be appreciated! 😂)

Getting ready to tune my first rotary, as Andre says in the course, if you're hearing knock on a rotary its probably already too late,

And I do plan on sticking to conservative timing, and monitoring egt's for if it's too too retarded,

That being said I still think using knock detection is a good backstop as you never know might get super lucky and save the engine,

For those who have heard it, does knock in a rotary have the same 'popcorn' 'pinging' sound that piston engines do?

Plenty of examples of piston knock audio files on the interwebs but funnily enough no one seems willing to ping the brains out of their rotary engine for the sake of a YouTube video!

Thanks in advance!

Jake
