Friends,

 It's a little over a week away.

 CONTACT! Magazine has been sponsoring a free fly-in for several
 years. It's moved around a little, and last year it moved once
 again. This year it will continue to be held in conjunction with the
 Golden West Fly-in (as it was last year) in Marysville California
 and will be held on Saturday, June 9th, 2012.

 The catch? In order for it to be free, you must fly in with an
 experimental aircraft that has an "alternative engine" and be
 willing to put it on display with the others. This will entitle you
 and the occupants who flew in with you to attend the fly-in for
 free. And for those of you who has an experimental (data plate
 removed) hot-rod Lycoming, Continental, or any number of non-
 certified, non-auto conversion engines
 (UL, Jabiru, Hirth, Deltahawk, etc.) we consider those an
 "alternative engine" too. Please visit
 http://www.ContactMagazine.com/roundup.html for preregistration information

 If you are flying-in with an aircraft powered by a Sube, Corvair,
  Rotary, Viking, or any other auto conversion and would like to
 present a forum (or even if you are currently building one and can't
 bring it- or CAN bring it on a trailer), please contact me.
 Editor@ContactMagazine.com We'd love to include you in the fun!

 And so that those who can't make it to the show this year won't feel
 left out, here's some free stuff:  http://www.contactmagazine.com/FreeLunch.html

 Paul,

 Please pass along this note from Pat Panzera to all Rotary Engine Enthusiast.

 Pat has been a friend to Rotary Enthusiast in "Contact! Magazine",
 and should some of your readers attend the Golden West I am sure Pat
 would welcome them.

 See the details below, including if one of you Rotary Engine
 Enthusiast wants to give a forum presentation.

 Best Regards,
 Anthony J. Liberatore

 The trouble with this magazine is it equates automobile piston
 engines with rotaries, There is a world of difference when it comes
 to aircraft level power durability. Automobile piston engines can
 grenade without warning.

 Weellll Paul,
That is why you can have your pissa with or without Anchovies. Its not for
everyone. Same for rotor motors. Not for everyone. I must admit I can not
understand why they fight it so much. Boing boing engines have been around for
quite some time and more people can think they trust them than an unknown to
them commodity. Silly boys.

Dale Davies

The reason aircraft engines have TBO's is to check for fatigue cracks.
These engines are made with the finest steel available and with the best
manufacturing techniques that are known to increase fatigue life.
This is totally opposite to automotive piston engines where every nickel is taken
out. A result of the low duty cycle. A 400 HP Corvette is using only 40 HP to cruise
at 80 MPH.

The rotary engine structure is intrinsically resistant to fatigue. No in and out. No
back and forth. No up and down.
