   I'm one of those flighty magazine "car" guys.  And I enjoy both the
   car and aircraft topics.  But Paul is right.  We gotta keep Mazda
   pumped up about the rotary.  Without their development we are
   without.  I want a three rotor in a 5 Series killer.  I'm sure it
   would also make a great flier.
   jd

I am an rotary engine tuner, and follow this mailling list as I find it
very interesting.
Paul keep it up, after all you got the rotary engine on your plane
thanks to a Mazda car :)
