Hi Paul;

Allow me to throw this in the stew:

  Everybody who is remotely thinking of Mazda Power for
their aircraft has heard/read of Tracy's Mazda engine
and have kept track of the latest developments, problems
trials & tribulations etc. etc.
  Since everyone is waiting for the report with bated
breath,and Tracy being busy with his business, I would
like to suggest that the teardown,inspection,report be
performed by Bruce Turrentine or somebody as equally
qualified. (No insult to Tracy, on the contrary, I admire
& respect him because he successfully took on a mission
that a lot of us wouldn't even dream of doing).
  Also a good chef is able to smell the seasoning before
tasting it....Bruce Turrentine fits this description
fully. He is well tooled for the mission and objective.

   Tracy minimally equipped and a great scrounger
(I personally cringhed at some of the things he used/did)
has done a remarkable job. I take my hat off to him.
"Wow what a guy"!!------"What a gift he has given us"!

If at all possible, this would be a WIN/WIN situation
for everyone.

So what do say Paul? Can we afford to fund this?

How about a "parley" with Tracy?

Hopefully this suggestion is not to late.

                     Thanks....Butch Diaz

Good idea. Bruce, how much to give us a wear report?
