Hi Jeff,
        If I recall correctly, one of the design goals included
reducing the height of the existing pump. I just want to reinforce
this critical need for applications like a Lancair, where only 1-3/4"
is available between the standard cowl and top of the engine profile
in a normal engine configuration (i.e. not plugs up); if the normal
thrust line is to be maintained. Lowering the thrust line is not an
option for the Lancair as prop clearance is marginal at best in the
standard Lycoming configuration. Does your proposed new design meet
such a tight profile criteria? If so please sign me up for a unit.

Hi Gary. Would you like me to talk on the rotary at a chapter meeting
sometime in the near future? I am planing a trip up there to see the
kids.
