Wish the weather had allowed Ed and the S. Florida RV guys to get here but we had a terrific time at the Rotary fly-in this year.  Five rotary planes in one place, some  rotary powered formation fly-bys, Richard Sohn's very impressive single rotor development (with running engine this year ! ). The Cozy Girrrls (Chrisy and Randy) showed their engine mount and manifold development stuff  which brings us some much needed off the shelf type support.  I'll be posting some info and links to this and Ed Kleppis's (Sp?) developments on the RWS website.  There was much more as well but too little time to describe it all.  

  

 Dave Leonard's turbo 13B made it here from the west coast and easily won the "Farthest Rotary Powered Distance" award.  Also gave us a great presentation on his experiences with turbo operation and what it takes to make it work in our application.  And of course there were the endless rotary/airplane/politics/general BS discussions often lasting into the wee hours of the morning.   I enjoyed all of it!

 

I know how rare and precious spare time is and I'm honored that so many of you felt like spending some of it here with Laura and I.   Our sincere thanks to all of you.

All Rotary!

 

Could not get all of them on one picture. Sorry Rick,  took it before you arrived. The one the left is Dennis Haverlah's(spelling?). Thought it was neet to get banger-clean pictures.

No offence Scott, I think you had the hardest trip, with an abundance of time to enjoy the country side.

It was another great gathering. I am sorry we had to miss some.

 

Thanks Laura and Tracy!
