We just realized that Sun & Fun has changed the schedule this year.  Anyone know
why, and what are the plans for attending?
Will we have the engine tent this year?
Paul what classes\lectures are you doing?
Anyone doing a rotary lecture? Sure Tracy will :-)

I think I am doing my Aerodynamics of Liquid Cooling forum but I have not heard from
them. I also will volunteer at the engine workshop.

Thanks Paul
We had hoped to have a single rotor running, but looks like we will only have a few
pieces and the patterns ready.
Just so much to do on this.

Things always take longer than you think. I had hoped to get the water pump
in the foundry today but it missed being ready Thursday night by 30 minutes
before the school lab closed. Took 33 hours for the proto machine to make
the pattern. I had to wait till ten this morning before I could get it out,
sand and paint it. Naturally the foundry was closed before I could finish it.
It will have to go in monday.

Gets interesting sometimes doesn't it?
One good thing about this though, we have learned a lot about the engine that we would never
have learned if we had just shortened the shaft and used the factory housings.
The end product here should be wonderful, greater than one HP per lb., small compact 150 hp
engine that is modular. Uses stock off the shelf components, and easily made.
