Paul:  Finally got the small peripheral port/intake runner engine
installed on the dyno.  Here is a brief video of the engine being
run through its paces with the experimental Helmholtz muffler I
built. The  muffler has been the biggest surprise.  Has a nice deep
sound signature and performing beyond expect ions. I have detailed
photos of it during construction. The link for video.

It is a private video. Why? some people (like me) do not want to
sign in. If you just send it to me I will upload it here. I have
software that can make it smaller if it is too big to publish.

Steve Beckham is one of the famous rotary engines in aircraft
pioneers back in the 90's.  Back when the United States was great.
He partnered with Everett Hatch. They built one of the first all
aluminum Mazda based rotaries. Here are some pictures.

They competed in the Sun & Fun time to climb to 3000 feet from a
dead stop. As I recall they did it in 59 seconds running NOS. Also
Steve's pilot Allan Tole  went 228 MPH in the Sun & Fun 100 and won
the class. Here is a screen capture of the pertinent news paper
pages.

They were the first to use P-ports I think.

Steve, we noticed that the bigger the diameter of the final exhaust
pipe the more pleasant the sound.
