I have been following Paul Lipps, and the "Contact" crew for some

time,

and have

been
quite impressed with his efforts. Paul is also the primary designer

behind

Klaus
Savier's electronic ignition, and now fuel injection. I do not fully

agree

with his
concept of heavily loading the inner portion of the prop disc, but

the

results
are very convincing. This will support good cooling flow, but will

make

the local aero design of the front of the cowl more demanding. -
One of our local RV builders said "I don't care if it does work

better-

it looks funny" - Vance

Here it is on the winning bi plane - they both look weird - mission specific
is a term that Dick Rutan used for the Voyager I believe, and it fits this
case.

Thanks Vance. We could make a cowl like that with straight runners :)
