Once a month SZP opens the airport for visitors. Those of us with
unusual air planes open our hangar doors and people stroll by and ask
questions. Many are questions I have heard over and over again.

The rotary powered RV4 with the cowl off is prominent and draws a lot
of people,

I am scheduled to give a talk about rotaries at AusFly in Narrowmine
NSW Aus next week. To speed the process I am getting a large poster
printed with some of those questions.


Here is a preliminary version. Comments are welcome.

Paul,
 Looks great.  Ideas:
 - Small typo in Answer #4 ( "in injects")
 - For AUS:  Maybe substitute ml/liters for oz/gals in the part about adding oil to fuel?  Though most folks there are very familiar with both systems.
-  Having a poster made of your engine weights/HP chart would probably garner a lot of interest and answer a big "why" question.
- "How many major moving parts?  Three.  How many major moving parts in a 4 cyl aircraft engine:  28 (?)"

Have a good trip.
