Paul,

Got your contact info from Reinhold (who's restoring my old Lola
T-190).  How the hell are ya Dude?  It appears you're putting rotary
engines in aircraft.  If I was still flying/writing (had to sell the
Pitts after the accident) I could do an article for some aviation
magazines.  I still might be able to sell a story to Plane & Pilot, who
I used to work for so get in touch and I'll see what we can work out.

I'm liv'n in the Arizona high country in Prescott, with a good airport
(Love Field) so aviate yourself over in some rotary powered wonder for
a visit.

Get in touch

Ron


Good to hear from you Ron. We have a Lancair ES flying with a turbo 3 rotor in
Kingman. Guy by the name of Tom Parkes.  He is an instructor at Emory Riddle.
We have several others here in SoCal.

I am working on a Kis Cruiser but it is coming REAL slow and I am not getting any younger.

I still have the C182 if I wanted to fly. We have at least 3 dozen airplanes around the world with over 100 in the oven. Your Pitts was just down the taxiway from my hangar in SZP for awhile. John Cannon stayed in my hanger as he was working with Klaus just before John crashed.

Vis a vi a mag article I put you on the list so you can get a feel for what we are doing here world wide for the last ten years. If it gets too much let me
know and I'll take you off. As I recall you drove some Mazda powered race cars
at one time.

Have you seen these videos on Youtube?
Looky there all those cars have my wings on them :)

I would love to have some pictures scanned in of the American Mk1.
What was the name of the designer on that car. I forgot. He had a real cute
wife :)

Also some pictures  on the wing struts and mounting if you have them.
I am doing dwgs for Reinhold but I forgot the dimensions. I am also working
on an article for Race Tech on suspension mounted wings. I have one coming out
in the next issue of Bernoulli. http://www.racetechmag.com/

Glad to see you are well and chipper :)

Robin typing: The time we spent with you in the hospital was very special for me. It showed me, your spunk and intelligence in the face of real bucket of Poo-poo and ka-ka.  What are you up to now??
