Paul,

Any speculation on the rotary engine for the Senku? A 13B size engine
would be overkill. Even 1/2 of a 4 rotor 16B could be too large. Will
Mazda have a small light weight rotary that will do the job for a Light
Sport Aircraft? Hurry back from Tokyo please, I need to know if it's
time to give up my single rotor dream.

Fred O.

Good question Fred. I'll let you know when I get back.

Hello Fred,
Don't give up on the single!
I'm still working on it, so too is Richard Sohn and others who we won't
mention here.
I've selected the RX8 rotor for highest compression with the RX7 Cosmo rotor
housing and 12A end housings - one of many combo's.
The RX8 timing wheel and pick-up.

I've done the drawings for the single crank shaft and am having it turned
now. It should have been much sooner but people have let me down.
P-Port of course with fuel injection and Tracy's EC2 and EM2 when he goes
metric( for outworlders only).

Slide throttle - if I can manage it and the new RAM-VAM exhaust, being
welded-up as we speak. This is a combined project between Bill Jepson and
myself -photo's upon completion.

I've given up on the aluminium end housings for the time being, as Richard
is well ahead with that project.

It's still a while off - but don't give up!
George ( down under)
