Well, shucks Tracy.

  If you had simply not designed and produced your electronic
  ignition, fuel
injection system and PSRU that so many of use, you would have had
plenty of time to make the "Otter" prettier.  Of course, there would
probably be fewer of us flying behind a rotary that there are.
Personally, I can't help but wonder how  many more products you
could have offered, it you had not even painted the plane {:>).

  Now lets see, if you stop working on your RV-8 right now, You
  could
probably get motor mounts, turbo installations and mufflers to
market in - lets see about 3 months, right? {:>)

Keep up the excellent work.  Even if the "Otter" is not considered
the prettiest in some eyes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
someone profound once said.

Best Regards

I bet that the REAL truth is that Tracy is like most RV builders (though

not all) and

he just plain ole HATES fiberglass!!!!!!!

True! True!  Although I am getting to appreciate its possibilities thanks to
some video tape help like the ones from Bill Freeman & Sam James.   But I am
so glad that the factory fiberglass parts from Van's have improved vastly
since I built the RV-4 eight years ago.  Back then they were so bad that
some builders threw them away and made their own.
