BTW my RX8 has about 3000 miles and I think I am feeling a slight HP increase.
Either that or I am getting better at shifting it :) Perhaps the weather
is just cooling off.

Group, While visiting so-cal to take the kids to Disneyland I had a chance 
to visit Paul at the hangar. Things look interesting!
I also got to visit a RV-10 builder on the airport, great fun. 

The best part was Paul allowed me a brief, (My limitation so as
to stay married) test drive. I must say the RX-8 impresses. Paul 
is spot on about the steering, the feel is so good it must be
felt to be believed. Perfect on center and no nasty kickback. 

The map on the engine is FLAWLESS. It doesn't matter what gear
you're in press down and you always get something. A very well 
done rotary return. This car will make converts. This will also
make a great NA aircraft engine behind the 2.85:1 reduction. Bill Jepson

Here are a couple of pictures of Bill and Tracy Saylor discussing their
respective RV10 projects. Unfortunately I have not convinced Tracy to
use a 3 rotor yet.
