Bill freeman may have it. He is not on the list.
Wait a minute I will search old messages. He moved though.
Tracy probably has an update email for him.
That muffler did not work very well. You could look inside and
see the baffles inside glow orange to the point they were
near transparent. I was up there when he was running it.
It would not be long before it spit out
its guts. the other problem it had it was frying the prop.
Best to use a simple tangential muffler with no guts and bring the
outlet further out on the prop disk.
BTW that super charger might be the way for yout to get a lot
more HP at lower RPMs.

Paul: can you send me Tom Jordan's email address? I like that
muffler he made, would like to get the details. I will actually
need something like that, because without the stock manifold I
was told my plane would get even louder without some kind of
muffler. Also, I am building the new intake manifold and it won't
work with the stock exhaust manifold because of space conflicts.

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.

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.
