This past weekend, I went up and saw another rotary installation. I don't
think he is on the list.  His installation looked pretty neat, details below.

Owner: Sigurd Ganswindt
Schaumberg, IL
Glas Star
13-B, Plugs up
Ross redrive, no thrust bearing, says it is now very difficult to get in
touch with Ross, doesn't return calls
Two Airconditioning cores behind nose intakes. Plumbed in series.
Standard Mazda oil cooler, says he thinks the Ford Probe oil cooler is the
same. Oil cooler mounted horizontally across the chin, has slot type opening
in the chin to send air to the oil cooler.
Says it cools okay now, had to change the radiator hoses from braided AN type
to rubber Auto-type (larger diameter) to get it to cool.
Burns premix oil-gas
Oil drain from ross re-drive comes out the bottom, and then snakes backto the
top of his plugs up oil pan.  Said he had a restrictor hole in the feed to
prevent "too much " oil being fed to psru, which caused seal leakage.  I
anticipate that the oil drain may be causing the problem.

The plane is flying, has ~19 hours on it, and is debugging other stuff --
like tachometer , etc.
