Hi all-

 I'm filling out my FAA paperwork for the Mustang II so we can move on to
 test flights & I'm a bit stumped on what to enter for the engine serial
 number section.  There is no serial number for the rotary (where would you
 put it, since any of the housings could be replaced at any time!).

 What did those who are already flying fill in for this section?

 Thanks,

 Mark  (Rocky Mtn High)



You set the serial number. My engine is labeled (with an engraved plate
glued to the engine)

Schertz Rotary 13B
S/N 0001




Looks like the FAA outfoxed your efforts, Bill.  I wondered what they
entered into their database (vs what you put on the AW cert.)  Here is what
I found:

I can live with them recording them all as Mazda 13Bs -- important data can
be more easily collected that way.  But calling them Reciprocating kind of
sticks in my craw...  Them's fightin words...
