Hi folks..... thinking about options to the Lycosarus and Continental.
I am in a very good spot in my build to go either way.....finished with
the RG and starting the fuel strakes in a XL/RG.

Is there a list of builders working with the rotary engines? I would
like to discuss the option off reflector with you. Please e-mail
directly at milehitaz@aol.com     Thanx in advance for your time and
input.

We've done the first runs on my NA 20B (3-rotor rotary) on the
dynamometer this week, and overall the results so far are good.  In any
case it is exciting.  You may recall my custom installation I sent some
pictures of some weeks ago.  

The engine starts right up; 3-4 seconds of cranking when cold; and
almost instantly when warm.  Runs so far have gotten up to 5000 rpm and
maximum MAP of 24.5".  EGT's are very close; max range of 45 F,
sometimes as close as 10F.  Runs smooth and seemingly strong, 195 hp at
cruise setting of 5000 rpm (2300 prop) and 24" MAP, however we have not
yet done any higher power operation.  That is planned for tomorrow.  A
couple of  issues to resolve.  More later.

Larry, I'd be happy to discuss the installation with you.
