Jack Cox has published more articles favorable to the
our rotary engine development than any other writter.
and probably has had more personal negative press from
the entrenched certified crowd for believing in our
rotary engines and covering our slow development
than other topics he could have written about.

What was the month and year of the last Cox rotary engine article
in Sport Aviation mag Ray?

Paul Lamar

Since Ray Richardson of Power Sport has not answered this question I will.
As I recall Jack Cox or EAA Sport Aviation mag have not published an article
about rotary engines for at least four or five years.

Furthermore, to my knowledge, Jack Cox and EAA Sport
Aviation mag, unlike Kitplanes, have never published an article on Tracy Crook
or his rotary powered RV4. Tracy is the man that has done more for the cause of
low cost wankel type rotary engines in airplanes than anyone else.

Lets all hear it for Tracy.

Sounds like the last four and the one in October 2000 for sure are press releases.
The last article per se was in Oct 1992. Magazines publish press releases
mostly when they think they will received advertising revenue.
