Hi Hans and Paul n All,

I have an OS rotary model engine, that I flew  in a R/C  Great Lakes Bipe
10 years ago. It is rated at 1.7 HP @ 11,000 rpm. I use it now to keep my
head 'straight'when I read some of the crazy stuff on this letter.

Why, after Mazda have spent a zillion dollars on developing the LeMans
intake system that beat the best that Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes
could put up, Goddamn! they even changed the rules so's the piston
punchers could stand a chance! So now we have "johnny come latelys' that
figure "I think that a smaller intake will work better"come along and bog
down the discussion, and they have not even tried the winning combination
that won LeMans!

How many times have I read?  Quote "Nobody has ever got close to the NA
HP/Rotor that Mazda achieved with the LeMans tuned length induction
motor". Or, ' It is not my opinon of what works, it is what Mazda have put
years of research into proving what works'!

Here we have the Mazda factory dyno resources info at our disposal, but
'No, my buddy in Smallville KY, knows better because his uncle once owned
an RX 3 that ran pretty good on 'inch and a half tubes'.  We only do dyno
runs to establish what works and what does not, and Mazda have done it for
us!  Did you notice that the latest info that Bob White has uploaded does
not discuss length info under 5000 rpm. Now why would that be? Because
under 5000rpm  has no relevance to airplanes! Talk about reinvent the
wheel!

Paul, I am amazed at your patience!
I remain your most avid reader, Dave McC
