In my recent posts regarding engine mounts, intake manifolds, props, etc
that are all being
designed and manufactured for the benefit of all of rotary enthusiasts
by pioneers such as Paul
Lamar, Jerry Hey, Fred Breese, I neglected to mention one of the more
hairy chested
pioneers....Tracy Crook, with his electronic ignition and of course,
excellent redrives.  I humbly
appologize for forgetting to include Tracy in my short list of rotary
pioneers.  Sorry, Tracy.

I was so impressed with that description, I went out an purchased a copy of
FLYING magazine so I can prove to my great grandchildren that I was indeed a
"hairy chested Hero" back in the "old" days.

BTW Peter Garrison in the article could not understand why Toyota and Honda 
would be interested in the aircraft engine market. Just a few words. PR prestige 
and advertising advantages. Ford/Mazda continues to sit on it. Apparently it has not
dawned on them yet.
