I need some help in getting started on information that I should bone up on before jumping into the morass of rotary engine building. I ordered the book on rotary conversions by Tracey Crook as a start, but would like input from experienced builders as to other recommended reading and reference material (i.e. books and web sights). > > Best Regards > > Jim Calamon > N5658Z New Braunfles, Texas (BAZ) > "People may fail many times, but they become failures only when they begin to blame someone else" - Unknown > > http://gvtc.com/~n5658z/ > > > >
