Hallo,

I rather like to join your aircraft rotary newsletter. The story of the
Turbocompounds like the old R3350 or the Scania is too interesting and
the idea to put it on a rotary is really exciting.

We (me and some friends of our club) like and work on old Hercules/DKW
rotary motorbikes from the 70s. Our big problem is that there are no
spare parts left and we rework and "develop" our parts by our own as
good as possible. From this point of view we are interested in every
news about rotaries. We also take part with a rotary racer in classic
events. You can see some of our activities on our website     www
hercules-wankel-ig de     - sorry only in german.

As experts in aircraft rotaries you may know, that rotaries of our size
are still built at UAV/England for military purposes and from Diamond
Aircraft in Austria for light aircrafts. A friend of mine worked for
them for many years. So, those engines and ours from the motorbike have
the same roots, the 294 cc Sachs rotary  from the 60s.



Best regards

Reiner Nikulski

Paul,

For the motorcycle guys have them look at www.rotabike.com this is a
bike built by my son and he is now designing a lightweight twin rotor
bike with a wider tire and a CVT transmission.

This sure turns heads at any bike event.
