Paul,
    It was great to meet you and Robin at the MOGIG Friday and
Saturday. I listened with some interest in the rotary for possible use
in a Cozy MK IV that's just about built. I'm the RN that's in grad
school right now. Your web site is great! I'll be checking in from
time to time to see how things develop. Whenever you get the chance,
please e-mail me the file with the rotary animation. I just need to
see it to get how this beast functions. I understand it theory wise,
but I think seeing the animation may take it the rest of the way into
a "real thought" for me. Thanks again. You and Robin take care and
hope to see you again!.

BTW Tom Jordan's supercharged rotary powered BIG EZ was great.
The thrust was so strong at 3700 PM  and 5 psi boost static it
blew down a big tree in Tom's front yard :-). I mean a BIG
tree. It blocked the whole intersection in front of his house.
Flags in front of houses a block away were waving in the breeze.

Tom has a nice intercooler on this rootes blown engine and
one of Tracy's fuel injection/ignition systems. The starting
ignition timeing/fuel injection set up is not quite right
yet for eazy starting. Tom and Tracy are working on that.
It is no harder starting than an aircraft engine but it should
start on one or two revs of the prop.

Once it gets started it is IMPRESSIVE!

Pictures in a few days.
