Hi to all:

I am a member of this fantastic list since June. I only can be surprised
with the amount of info, photos, detail, etc about our beloved Mazdas RX
engines.

Iīm living in Spain and this year I was at Oshkosh.
At airventure I could see the RVs with the Mazda conversion at front of the
control tower. Was amazing!. Only, I couldnīt  be in the forum, because my
english is not enought good to understand speaking (and not too good...)

There, I took a ride on a demo RV6.

I starting building an RV6A in april of 2000, and today, I have just
finished the HS, ready for priming and riveting. I am too slowly this year
but I will try to get finished the wings afther the 2002 summer (after go to
Oshkosh again). Happy with the RV-7 change of my project!!!

I am seriously consider put an mazda in my RV7A. With my plane, a groups of
two friends (building two Jodel 150) and I will travel to Kenya and
Sudafrica. Afther this, I will try get the Oskosh 200X.

The engine I am consider now is a 13B with turbo. I want the 200 HP and the
normalizing turbo for the hot climates (here there is too hot at summer -up
to 118 this year-) and to flight high. Important is the auto fuel
possibility.

I think the turbo instalation is more complicated, but too perhaps will be
installed withouth silencer. Another engine would be the 20B (withouth
turbo).

I see too the work of the subaru conversion, that sell all firewall ready
for instalation. Tracy and others would think about it!!.

Here, in  Spain, is very difficult to find an RX car or engine (anecdotic
sales). So I will try get a block next summer at Osh, I suppose and start
with the conversion.

Any suggestion will be welcome. And if anybody is planning travel to Spain,
it would be amazing speak about rotaries here!!.
