Current issue of Sport Aviation (Feb 1999), p. 113 has picture and short
article about carbon fiber ducted fan for "piston" engines, by Matt
Kight, 521 SW Marion Court, Palm City, FL 34990.   Apparently Sport
Aviation covered this initially in Sep '97 issue, in Craftsman's
Corner, copies avail from EAA Information Services.   Feb '99 article
suggested not calling him, rather write.  Couldn't get e-mail addr from
Yahoo so I'll write him snail mail - and post info here if you want.
He's supposed to be at Sun N Fun with "working display"

In my letter I'll ask him if Sport Aviation slipped up by saying the fan
was for "piston engines", when in fact, the rotary would seem to be a
much better candidate for a direct drive application.  I'll tell him
about rotaryeng@earthlink.net.
