maybe we should inform Powersport.  Think they'd be interested in expanding
the line?  Looks like they may have some $$.

I had the same idea. I hope Ray is reading his email.
If Ray is not interested perhaps we can get a investment consortium going.
Anybody on here want to be part owner of the US Wankel engine company?
Put me down for a couple of hundred shares. Tom can handle the IPO.

One of the problems Juergen had was the Nickasil process of wear
coating the aluminum housings. His early supplier in England had quality
control problems. This supplier was probably the same supplier that did in
Midwest Engine wankels. That hurt Juergen too once in awhile
until he switched to Maule for the process they invented. IMHO a 
large improvement in quality control and durability could be made by 
switching to detonation gun wear coatings and forget Nickasil.
