Hi Mr Lamar,

I have enjoyed reading your newletter and will probably incorporate some
of the ideas on my own rotary conversion.  Unfortunately, it appears
that I have been dropped from the newsletter subscription list.  Please
reinstate me as an interested reader.

I got a bunch of bounced messages from your ISP Grady. Perhaps
there is a limit on your mail box size.

Now the tech question.  I seem to recall a timing advance curve for the
rotary that showed all the distributor advance occurring by 3000 rpm.
If one wanted to build you own ignition system or backup what would be
the concern with operating with a fixed timing equal to the full advance
that occurs at 3000 rpm.  The vast majority of the time would the engine
would be operating at or above this rpm.  What problems might occur from
operating with a fixed ignition timing and being to far advanced at idle
or low rpm? No I'm not trying to recreate a fixed timing magneto.  I'm
aware that Mr Crook has a full ignition package, but am also interested
in other solutions.

Thank your for your help.

Grady
