You missed Tom Jordan :-)

 BTW Jim Mayfield had to send his engine back to
 Wankel Germany when it failed for some strange reason. I guess he counts

for

 awhile :-) I talked to him about it at Arlington. He wanted to let
 Dave Atkins look at it but Juergen refused and insisted he send it back
 to Germany.

Wow, that is a long way to send an enging that is only worth a few hundred
bucks  by now.  Do you know how many hours it had on it when it failed?  I
didn't know he got it from Germany.  I thought he got a 13B locally...  the
only info I have on him is what I found in Contact!  I didn't know he was at
Oshkosh, would have liked to have met him.

Tom Jordan hasen't sent me any info...  but I'll add his name.

Dave Leonard

I am not sure Jim  Mayfield was or was not at OSH. It was Arlington where
I talked to him about his German Wankel engine for his Hyperbipe. He did not 
have many hours on it. Probably less than 100. I did see Tom Jordan 
at OSH however and at that time he was having his airplane repainted
after an off runway excursion. Some sort of gear failure as I recall.

The picture of Tom Jordan's engine shows the super charger on the left.
