Dear Paul
        If everyone in the rotary movement wants to boost the image

as I

suggested may be one year ago  why not do a TV series on installing an
automotive eng in a aircraft say a rotary into a tail wind. The only

one to

show any interest was Bruce doing the eng. Do I hear any one else

comming on

board with any ideas or thoughts Tracey.Paul,etc.come on guys we are

not

dead yet. If the boys from NY can do it  with motorcycles why can't we

do it

with a interesting subject like putting a auto eng into an aircraft I

think

the viewing public is ready for a subject change.

Short of a million dollars I would not know how to go about producing
that.
Anybody know Mel Gibson personally?

Paul,

I have been following this discussion for a few days.  Thought that I
would add my two cents.  I am building a Glasair Super II FT.  I am
almost ready to close the wings on my Quick build kit.  I am definitely
installing a rotary in my plane.  I have a son who is in the film
business with all the right equipment....I would be willing to do the
event, from the early decision process on.  Would need a great deal of
expertise and technical support from all of you, helping me to make the
decision from numerous options.  Jerry Hey on the motor mount, Tracey on
the PSRU and the Fuel computer, Bruce Turrentine on the Renesis engine,
etc.

Besides, having all of you pushing me will get this project done.  Maybe
I'm not far enough along to make it work, but would be interested.  With
all of your expertise, how could I go wrong?

Sounds great. Perhaps you can send some clips to the discovery channel
with a proposal. I once sat next to the discovery channel CEO in first
class on a flight to somewhere. We talked briefly but he did not seem
interested in the rotary or experimental aviation. Perhaps things have changed.
