Dear Paul,

my name is Alexander, an aviation enthusiast and builder of Acey Deucey
parasol.
As for firewall forward I am going to use VW type4 engine built to modern
specification, hope to get around 120 hp at 5000 rpm.
For the reduction unit I am planning to build my own planetary redrive and
have to say your site is one of the most important on my education on this
matter.

Considering all this, I am kindly asking some more clarifications on the
subject, questions coming from learning on your site.
First of all why I am writing, there is a broken link  *
http://www.rotaryeng.net/DON-DUN3.GIF*, would you please fix it if is
possible, hope it is not subject to copyright...
Second question is coming from one of the extras regarding planet gears
http://www.rotaryeng.net/Ford-sum-txt.jpg. For my need from the available
gear ratio 1.85 is the best thus the question, are all stock Ford E4OD
front
planet with this ratio? What about C6 and 4R100, do they retain the same
ratio for front planet gear set? I am going to order the planet set thus
want to be sure that I will take what I need.

Thank you,
Alexander

I don't like to encourage this as there are tens of thousands of home
builders
out there and I would not have enough time in a day to answer all such
questions.
I want to focus here on the Wankel rotary engine.

So I will refer you to Steve Bennett at
Great Plains Aircraft Supply Co., Inc.
info@greatplainsas.com

Steve is one of the most knowledgeable people in the experimental
aircraft field.

Sorry Paul, I understand your concern... I was not asking your opinion
regarding VW engines, and I know Steve Bennett work...
I was asking you about staff on your site and about planetary gears you have
provided a short description, that is all...

Just fix the link on your site :-)  http://www.rotaryeng.net/DON-DUN3.GIF

All the best,
Alexander

Thanks for reporting that. Now fixed. I am amazed nobody else noticed it
as it must have been that way for years. Just illustrates how few people
actually read the site :) Me included.
