Gary, what kind of porting do you have on that 12A?

I inherited the engine from Bill Parsons in Florida immediately after his
demise... I do not know the exact pedigree since the information came from
an unreliable source... but I was told that it has a "rather generous street
port"... "possibly even a bridge port that failed"... "that port stuff was
HUGE".

There might be someone on this newsletter that will know more about the
pedigree than I do... ported in Florida within 100 miles of the Flagler
Airport....  He had it mounted on N54WP as a replacement for his old 100hp
Arrow monstrocity.  He flew it for about 300 hours before Bill Ortmeyer
burned it up and rebuilt it.  I have put another 300+ on it during the past
2 years I have owned it.  Still running the same PSRU though... will
eventually need to worry about that puppy.

Did some customizing to the warp drive tips... scimitar shape got me to
loose 9 decibles when measured at 50' flyby!!!  : )   Haven't redone the
static pull test yet... will balance the blades in the next week.
