Don at Hayes Rotary didn't have any sources of CAS plugs for the 13BREW.
Maybe I'll try to see what I can find at the Mazda or Ford dealerships.
I took this pictuure of a broken e-shaft that they had laying around. Evidently,
this came out of a core that was sent back for
a rebuild, and showed signs of oil starvation to the rotor bearing.
Additionally, the rotors were not matched in weight to each
other, and the engine was being mercilessly abused by overrevving
on a downshift when this occured. Anyway, this is the
story related to me be Dennis several months ago. I don't
think that this is anything other than a curiousity to those who are
putting these engines into aircraft.

It takes some doing to break an e-shaft.
It is easy to stick the RX8 in the wrong gear. I am embarrassed to say
I have pegged the tach a couple of times already. (over 10K)
I am a menace. I would be safer with an auto TX :)
