It has not been independantly confirmed yet but Powersport may be

in search of an  alternative engine controller,  their customers have

been

notified that they will not be receiving engine controllers (already

paid

for) unless they pay an additional $22,500.00.

This is not good news for me or the industry.  I want reliable companies

out

there promoting the rotary engine more than I want a few more controller
sales.  This is bound to hurt the acceptance of the engine in the long

run.

Powersport,  Please say it isn't so!

Tracy. While I have you on the line. Speaking of Power Sport. Have you
heard from Larry Labeau on the subject of his exhaust wrap. I am worried
that he could have an accident.

Paul Lamar

Talked to him several times lately about tuning the EC1 but not about the
exhaust.  I'll bring the subject up next time.   He has read my conversion
guide where I discourage the use of rigid exhaust systems and wraping the
pipes but every builder has their own ideas about what to do.

Thanks Tracy.

BTW we have experienced a catastrophic hard disk failure so some things
might be a bit weird. It will take us awhile to fully recover.
