Paul,
How did your presentation go this past weekend? Any new converts to
the rotary engine cause?
Thanks,

I have done better jobs. Vance says I did a bad job of
introducing the rotary. I guess I assumed everybody knew
what an Rx7 rotary engine looks like and is. I told him
that he could do the talk next time but he had to promise
not to tell everybody it was a six cylinder 3.9 liter
piston engine in disguise :-). The engine and Ford C6 parts
were a hit.
We do have a few new readers to the newsletter however.
We had a little field trip afterwards to see John Andrich's & partner
stock Turbo II powered LongEze. The whole airplane looks quite done
and not that far away from flying. John has a rather thick,
low area rad in the nose so we will find out soon if
that will work.
