Welcome aboard Bill,

It is SO wonderful to have another 2-stroke guy on the list - I love the

things and will

be using a 40 HP Kawasaki snowmobile engine on my miniMax .

 Ken, Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been involved with all sorts of
racing and production engines for years with a crazy diversity. I personally
raced a Yamaha FZR 1000 4 cyl, 5 valve, 4 stroke. It dynoed to 170 rear wheel
HP! A real "E" ticket ride. I have worked on everything from Jet Skis to A
sports racer Lolas. I find the rotary facinating. My knowledge of the rotary
comes from working on a friends classs winning RX-3. Stock internals were all
that was allowed. I really want to get flying with one. I wrote to Paul with
some questions I had about the timing/throttle valve for the rotary. Please
take a look at those questions. I think Paul's idea is super, and like all
enngineers I have my own ideas to chime in with. I hope I can give you a few
good ideas of my own. I started my engineering life as a machinist so I
generally design ideas that can be made.

 On of the things that attracted me to Paul's site was that he seems to have
a good practical sense of how to make things, or put another way, "isn't
afraid to get his hands dirty"  Bill Jepson
