I updated the  web site in the

 INTERESTING ROTARY ENGINE AND OTHER WEB SITE LINKS

 section. I removed some links that were not working and adding some
 European aircraft  rotary engine makers.

 I also added the TTC engine to the 2nd power to weight ratio chart.
 It was off the 1st chart :-)

Typo:

Dave Leonard's roster of Mazda rotary *powere* aircraft.

Should be "powered".

Thanks Mark. I'll try to remember that next time I Filezlla (FTP).

The hosting company does not like FTP anymore. I must admit Filezilla
does work better. The other trick is you must clear your
browser cache after you make a change to the web site
or you won't see the change.

BTW we plan on running the TTC tomorrow for the last time before
we fly it at SZP. Dan is a bit unpredictable. He may decide to
fly it tomorrow too. If we get the Time To Climb record Dan Gray
will become a legend in the aircraft world. The attempt
will not be made tomorrow as there are no officials
to witness it yet.

The manual waste gate was the key to getting it to run
right. After we installed that all our tuning problems disappeared.
I suspect the Motec was doing a bad job of controlling the boost.
I highly recommend the manual waste gate it for all 13B turbos
used in aircraft.

For the new guys this is what the TTC aircraft  looks like.

No cowl because  aero drag is down in the noise if you are able
to climb vertically. In theory we can at 175 MPH.  The slip stream
does a good job of cooling the turbo.

650HP under 1000 pounds.
