Dear Paul,

My name is Gerhard Schiffmann, and I've recently completed building a
brand new experimental airplane of my own design (see attached photo).
It is a fiberglass amphibious plane, based off of the Dyke Delta
planform, with the exception that it is a pusher configuration. The
powerplant I selected for my plane is an RX7-20B, non-turbocharged,
rotary. Currently, I'm in the Phase I testing of the aircraft and have
successful completed several high-speed taxi runs, including a sustained
lift-off of a few feet (for about the distance of the Wright Brothers
first flight haha).

I've currently been struggling to program and master the accompanying
engine control module supplied by Traci Crook at Real World Solutions.
In this endeavor, I've been trying to contact Traci, but have been
unable to do so. Therefore, I was hoping to reach out to other Rotary
engine users, in attempt to receive some assistance, insight, and/or
tips on programming these amazing, yet misunderstood, engines.
Obviously, I have the engine up and running, but it's just the final
tuning of the engine for various throttle positions that I need some
assistance with.

Any help or recommendations that you would be gracious enough to
provide, would greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Gary  Schiffmann


Gary,
  As a current Dyke Delta Builder I am intrigued with your amphibious
version of the Delta because of the composite construction.

 As you know the Delta is a welders nightmare and with its mixed steel
and composite air-frame is a long and tedious process to build. I would
be very interested if you would be interested in sharing any information
about the air-frame and its construction details.

 I also have Tracy's EC-3 for the 20B  engine. Did you purchase your
EC-3 from Tracy and do you have the tuning manual? You may contact
me directly by E mail and perhaps I can be of assistance.
