The fan cooled Rotary(Savauro), I reported about some time ago, is now
running on the test stand. I am in the process of getting the
carburetor right. I had it run up to 6000 RPM with a moderate load
prop. Can not measure torque yet. It is most interesting, at least to
me, the fact that it runs so well with a fixed 20deg spark setting. It
may not be optimal for high RPM, but that will be fixed later. I was
able to use the recoil starter without any problem, a real soft start.
There seems to be a good chance for fixed timing, even at higher
advance without any adverse effects. I will find out soon.

Paul, please take me off the mailing until Sunday Oct.10. I will be at
SERFI Fly-In in Evergreen AL.
Richard.

OK but remind me when you come back as I will forget for sure.
