This is the cute little 65 HP Cosmon racer seen at Apple Valley
before the race to Copper State. I asked Ron Caraway if he 
was planing on putting a rotary in it and he said he did not think it 
would make the three hundread miles to Copper State as it only
held 17 gallons. A 100 HP German Wankel turbo rotary burning diesel 
fuel would be about right for this airplane. Perhaps not quite heavy
enough to exactly replace the Continental 65 HP that is in it
now.

In the next sentence however he was talking about a 90 HP
Continental so he would have to increase the fuel 
tankage anyway.
