I might not be able to go guys. I am planing a trip to Japan so that
might happen around Jan 25th. I would like to get a tour through
the rotary engine line at Mazda in Hiroshima.

Paul,
Do you have a contact at Mazda?  I may be able to check my old contacts
there and come up with someone.  I spent ten years working at a Mazda owned
affiliate near Detroit.  Been to the plants in Hiroshima twice.  Body
engineering so we spent time in the sheet metal areas, not engine.

I got one but he is a lawyer and he hates people putting Mazda rotary
engines in airplanes. He is deathly afraid that someone is going to sue
Mazda which of course is BS. Mazda has absolutely no control over
what somebody does with their engine after it is sold. I was going
to offer to act as an expert witness on Mazda's be half in case that happened
until he pissed me off :-)> (I am an experienced expert witness in the
automotive field).

I hope your contact is not the same as mine. Please send me your guys name
by private email.
