Thanks Rusty, I'm old wrench from way back and I do plan on doing all the work myself. I have no fear of working on what I fly and I have been doing the maintance and annuals on N5657Z for as long as I have owned it, of course under the experienced eye of my A&P - IA. I will start pursuing the archives very soon.

Best Regards

Hello everyone, I'm the new kid on the block and seriously looking at rotary power for my BD-4 project

Hi Jim. Welcome to the list. Seems like we have at least one other BD-4 guy on the list if I'm not mistaken, so that could be a real help. Tracy's book is a good start, but it's getting a bit dated, particularly since we now have the Renesis engines available.   Your budget, and desire to get your hands dirty will likely determine what route you take on the engine.

There's an archive of list messages at: http://lancaironline.net/lists/flyrotary/List.html   though it seems to be taking a nap at the moment. I'm sure it will be back up fairly soon though. Also feel free to ask whatever you want.

Cheers,

Rusty
